Abstract

Namen prispevka: Prispevek predstavlja statistiko kaznivih dejanj nad starejšimi (populacija nad 64 let) v letih od 2001 do 2011. Ob prikazu projekcij staranja prebivalstva v naslednjih petdesetih letih bo zagotovo prišlo tudi do povečanja kriminalitete nad starejšimi. Da bi bilo staranje v prihodnosti varnejše, prispevek preko statističnega pregleda opozarja na najbolj rizična področja kriminalitete nad starejšimi. Metode: Pregled statističnih podatkov policije v letih 2001 do 2011 in kratek pregled literature. Ugotovitve: Kriminaliteta nad starejšimi v Sloveniji se je v letih med 2001 in 2011 skoraj podvojila. Najpogostejša skupina kaznivih dejanj nad starostniki so premoženjski delikti (dobrih 80 %), sledijo kazniva dejanja zoper človekove pravice in svoboščine (dobrih 5 %), gospodarska kriminaliteta (skoraj 5 %) in kazniva dejanja zoper življenje in telo (skoraj 3 %). Omejitve/uporabnost raziskave Prispevek prikazuje dostopne podatke o kriminaliteti nad starejšimi. Omejitve zaključkov so vezane na težko dostopne podatke o tem, kakšne so težave starejših pri prijavi kaznivih dejanj (ali da do tega sploh pride) in kakšne vrste pomoč jim je pri tem nudena (če sploh). Praktična uporabnost: S pregledom značilnosti kriminalitete nad starejšimi v zadnjem desetletju poznamo tvegana področja, na podlagi katerih je mogoče oblikovati (oziroma nadaljevati) različne preventivne programe, usposabljanja za delavce institucij, ki so v stiku s starejšimi žrtvami kaznivih dejanj, in pripraviti ustrezne programe psihosocialne in medicinske pomoči žrtvam.

Secondary title:	Crime against the elderly and guidelines for a safer aging in Slovenia
Secondary abstract:	Purpose: This paper presents statistical data on criminal offenses committed against elderly citizens (population above 64 years of age) in years from 2001 to 2011. According to projections of population ageing in the next fifty years the number of elderly crime victims is expected to grow. In order to contribute to the efforts towards a safer aging of citizens the paper draws attention to the criminal offences that put the elderly at the biggest risk. Design/Methods/Approach: The paper is a review of police statistical data in years between 2001 and 2011. Findings: Crime against the elderly in Slovenia has almost doubled from 2001 to 2011. Property crime is the most common offense against the elderly (over 80%), followed by crimes against human rights and freedom (over 5%), economic crime (almost 5%) and offences against life and limb (almost 3%). Research limitations / implications: The paper presents accessible data on crime against the elderly. The limitations of findings are thus linked to data that are difficult to access: about the elderly's hardhips at reporting crime and what kind of help are they offered when they do. Practical implications: By analysing the characteristics of crime against the elderly in the last decade we have recognised areas of vulnerability which provide important information needed to form (or continue) a variety of preventive programs, trainings for workers of institutions that encounter elderly victims of crime, and organize appropriate programs for psychological, social and medical help to victims.
