Abstract
Victimization has generally been associated with increased fear of crime. Analysis of two very large victimization surveys completed with the Canadian city of Edmonton, Alberta, explores the ways in which age and gender condition the experience of different types of victimization. While younger women were sensitized by assault (current or prior), older women appeared to be desensitized by similar victimization.
