Peer reviewedMullen, Robert E.; Donnermeyer, Joseph F. – Gerontologist, 1985
Examined the relationship of age and trust to perceived safety from crime among 891 rural residents from a statewide victim study. Trust was found to be a more important predictor of perceived safety than age, isolation, and income. Age had a direct, independent effect on perceived safety. (Author/NRB)
