Shadows of Time: Unveiling the Intersection of Crime, Victims, and Aging is a comprehensive exploration of the complex relationship between crime, victims, and the aging population. Whilst older people are visible as an aging population, they are invisible as a victim population or even more controversially, as an offending population.

This book delves into the challenges, vulnerabilities, and unique obstacles faced by older adults who become victims of crime and offenders of crime across cultures. It is one of a tiny handful of books that explores the relationship of aging, victimization and criminality. To make sense of such issues, there will be a critical exploration of the links between theory, policy and practice.

The primary purpose of this book is to shed light on the often-overlooked issue of elderly victimization and offending and to raise awareness about its impact.
