Elderly Crimes on the Rise
 Published: May 20, 07
 Views: 2,504

Statistics show an increase in crimes committed by the elderly. This includes crimes of brutal violence. This highlighted by the recent conviction of an 84 year old woman who brutally stabbed her husband to death after 50 years of abuse.

The Kobe District Court sentenced an 84-year-old woman to eight years in prison Wednesday for killing her husband last year in Hyogo Prefecture. The case reflects a growing -- although probably unnoticed -- trend in Japan, where the number of elderly criminals is rising in line with the country's graying population. It's generally heinous, sensational crimes committed by or targeting young people that grab the headlines and prompt public outcries for crackdowns. "But in many cases involving elderly criminals, they are also the victims of violence," he said. (risingsunofnihon)
