Sumario:Ever since the implementation of the victimization surveys (VS), the victimization literature acknowledges the paradox whereby the social groups less vulnerable to crime (women and the elderly, for the most part) exhibit high levels of fear and, on the contrary, those most susceptible to crime (youngsters and males) manifest lower levels of fear. The goal of this paper is to explore a range of representations about the “security” issue held by the elderly with a qualitative strategy. On the other hand, on the assumption that fear of crime cannot be solely linked to the actual object through which this is manifested, I examine new analytical dimensions accounting for “fear of crime” above and beyond the criminality issue within this age class.
