This Brief is based on a research study of aging adults' perceptions and fear of crime in their
community of Ferguson  Missouri. The study  which was conducted by coincidence just prior to
the death of Michael Brown  presents unique insights into the community environment prior to
those events  which sparked protests and turmoil in Ferguson and beyond. This qualitative study
employs sampling and semi-structured interviews to survey older adults aging in place in
Ferguson about their perceptions of crime  social disorder  racial integration and community
transformation. The author also draws comparisons to other US cities  and recommendations for
future research. While the study is only preliminary  it will be of interest to anyone
researching the intersection of race  crime  and community  or particularly the protests
surrounding the events in Ferguson  Missouri  as a starting point for comparison.
