Attacks on The Elderly and Vulnerable

In recent times there has been a significant increase in the number of attacks on elderly and vulnerable people. Some of these attacks have been quite serious and have involved violence.

Why is there an increase in such attacks?
And more importantly what can we do to help prevent them?

The RUC/PSNI dont seem to be doing anything about it. I myself was contacted recently by an elderly person who was attacked, they told me that they had contacted the RUC/PSNI but it took them almost 12 hours to leave the comfort of the barracks to come and see the victim. Plus i have no doubt in my mind that some of the thugs responsible for these sickening attacks are working for the British Militia, recieving money for bits of information. How can someone contact the RUC/PSNI and ask them to catch the thugs when some of the thugs are in fact working for them?

One way that these attacks can be prevented is if the community deals with them. Its up to the people to look out for eachother and to regulary check on their elderly and vulnerable neighbours.
