"ACADEMICS at one of Wales' leading universities are researching ways to make elderly people feel safe and not threatened by crime. Researchers at the University of Glamorgan hope their project will help to create places for older people where they will feel more confident as they go about their daily lives. The study will focus on two socio-economically deprived areas in the South Wales Valleys, and its findings will influence policy and decision-making across the UK. "
