Factors related to elderly crime victims' satisfaction with police service: the impact of Milwaukee's "Gray Squad"

RG Zevitz and AM Gurnack
Department of Social and Cultural Sciences, Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI 53233.

This study tests the hypothesis that specialized police services for the elderly affect the way the elderly view the police in general. Older victims dealt with by elderly victimization specialists were more satisfied with the efforts of local police than crime victims who had not received specialized services. This latter finding has important implications for training police officers to deal effectively with elderly victims of crime.
