Validation of the "innocent victim" concept
Increased suburbanization, a greater dependency on the automobile, the continuous growth ofthe elderly population, and a significant increase in the number of elderly female drivers havecreated the need for research to investigate gender distinctions in the accident patterns of elderlydrivers. Differences in accident patterns between younger and older drivers in this investigationare attributed partially to aging-related diminished abilities and partially to differences indrivership and licensure levels between the past and the present. This study analyzes andcompares the accident patterns of elderly males and females. It shows that females aged 65 andover have higher accident involvement rates than elderly males. Accident exposure data indicatea similar exposure for elderly males and females making the higher rates for females moresignificant. In contrast, the accident patterns of males and females under 65 are similar,suggesting that gender-related differences may disappear in the future.
