Brevia Reading Room

If you leap forward to those who are between the ages of 35 to 49, the statistics show 17.6 of every 1000 in that age bracket are victims of a violent crime. In terms of population, that translates to a staggering 1.17 million men and women who will be victims of a violent crime during those years. For those of us over the age of fifty, to the age of sixty-four, 11.4 out of every thousand will be victims of a violent crime.
