Not all older people live in fear!

------------------------------------

More than a third of people over 50 are too afraid to leave their homes at night because they are afraid of being mugged or verbally abused, according to a new survey.

 

1. There are large national variations in rates of fear of crime

2. Older women and frail older people are mostsusceptible to fear of crime

3. Fear of crime is associated with reduced social networking outside the home

4. Fear of crime is associated with depression, poor self-reported health and low quality of life.

  

It is difficult to establish whether fear of crime is acause of poor health and low quality of life,or whether they are linked throughmore complex two-way relationships. For example, fear of crime may increase the risk of depression, but depression itself may heighten susceptibility to fear. It is difficultto separate these effects with the available data, although ongoing multivariate analysisindicates that fear of crime contributesto poor healthin some countries.

We are getting so, so, so tired of the damage being done day after day after day by a group of "people" who care only for the rich! Thank you for these words, Tom.

  

"I Won't Back Down"

 

Well I won't back down, no I won't back down

You could stand me up at the gates of hell

But I won't back down

 

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around

And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down

Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

 

Tom Petty 1950-2017

I want to share this photo that has a lot of meaning to me. It was taken by a person who gave me his friendship.

I met him in the least unexpected place in a peculiar way.

I was getting immersed in activism.

Without knowing that he belonged to the same organization but in another area,

We coincide in a march and from that moment I got involved in his movement.

Thank you Martin J. Batalla for this photo and for inspiring hundreds of thousands.
