title: Urban structure and household victimization of the elderly.
abstract: This paper examines the relationships of several urban structural characteristics with the rate of household victimization of the elderly in twenty-six U.S. central cities. We find that inter-city variation in two types of household victimization (household burglary and larcency) is highly related to two factors: 1) population density, and 2) socioeconomic conditions. The implications of these findings for further research are discussed.
