Elder abuse is a global crisis. The increasing trend of crime against elderly calls for serious introspection and points out a societal debacle. The disrespect, neglect and abuse of the elderly makes the future murkier and gory. For us, who are yet to reach the age, the incidences of violence against elderly makes us apprehensive and fearful of our future. It needs serious research, awareness and introspection on our part to overcome the crisis and allow the elderly to age gracefully. The present study is a humble attempt to explore the fear of victimization among the elderly in six cities of eastern India through a small sample survey.
