Keep Safe

Research in Dundee shows that if you are over sixty, you are far more likely to be frightened of crime. The same research shows that you are also less likely to be a victim of crime!

The more aware you are about the possible dangers, the less likely it is that you will be a victim of crime. Getting good advice about prevention from agencies in Dundee will reduce your risk from being a victim of a burglar or a bogus caller.

Antisocial behaviour such as graffiti where you live or a neighbour making loud noise can also make you feel unsafe. Getting help from your community or other organisations can often solve these problems.
