Although older Americans are most afraid of crime, it is young people who are more likely to be the actual victims of crime. It seems that older people are more cautious about the people with whom they associate. A national survey showed that 10% of all people ages 16-19 have been victims of crime.† At Jefferson High School, a random sample of n = 68 students (ages 16-19) showed that r = 9 had been victims of a crime. Note:...
