The rate of nonfatal assaults on American men 60 and older increased 75.4% between 2002 and 2016, a new government report estimates. For women, the assault rate increased 35.4% between 2007 and 2016.

"These findings highlight the need to strengthen violence prevention among older adults," concluded the researchers from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."Unfortunately, few strategies have been rigorously evaluated."Homicides down, nonfatal assaults upThe report, published Thursday, highlights some stark realities beginning with the fact that older adults account for an increasing proportion of our society.

The cycle of violence within families is also interconnected, he added, noting based on his own study, which will soon be published, that violence in families is cross-generational."There's nothing magic about age 60; people have often been victimized throughout their lifetime," he said."This article is not able to capture that."Dong observed that child abuse causes a"visceral reaction," yet elder abuse may not stir the same emotion.

Equality.

Shameful

It's millienials beating old people because they put too much plastic in the ocean

Any particular demographic the attackers hail from?

Assaults by whom, other males?

Sadly the case why a older person may kill a younger person for violently attacking them.

They want to prey on the elderly ...they are going to be surprised..

More reason for open carry .. buy one , register it , take a class on how to properly use it and carry it and stand your ground

Sure most of them are in nyc la Chicago

Cowards! !

To be fair they were wearing MAGA hats so they probably deserved it.

Obama must hate the elderly

60 is not elderly..starts with 70 -75..

Terrible

Probably bc of intolerant leftist who have no self control when they see a pro-life sign

I would say those startling numbers must be a result of global warming...

Difference between races?

Disgusting and disgraceful

Thanks obama.

Called catch and release. Many repeat offenders.

Can you just sight the statistics that people already know?

Change reporting requirements and you can make numbers say whatever you want.

So blame Obama That was his entire 8 yr term

Ah yes, another example of that sweet male privilege I’ve been hearing so much about.

Since you’re into identity politics so much I would be interested in the racial statistics. I bet all the “old white men” bullshit that plagues your broadcasts play a role.

Soy boys too the rescue

Liberals can only beat up elderly and or kids...

Don’t worry Soylent Green is coming

I like nippies

And, does that 'report' state who is committing those crimes? The age group & race? Surely you could make note of THAT too?

Very little, shame or embarrassment left. Few lines people won't cross and the lines keep getting further away to start.

No respect for our elders...😔
