<p>Improved health services, combined with economic advancement, result in a graying population. Violence against elderly individuals is the most prominent socioeconomic consequence of aging because aging normally results in greater reliance, susceptibility, and economic pressure. The initial purpose of this investigation was to examine the technical efficiency of regulating crime against older citizens across Indian states. The paper then describes the repercussions of political inequality in effective crime control for the elderly population. To better comprehend the political inequality scenario in Indian states, a self-developed political inequality index was generated via principal component analysis. Additionally, a model of technical inefficiency effects is employed to generate both the efficiency score and the determinants simultaneously. The empirical findings show that Gujarat and Manipur are the most and least efficient states at regulating crime against the older population. Older citizens who live alone are most vulnerable to such crimes. Interestingly, a 1% increase in political inequality increases state inefficiency by 4%. Thus, escalating political inequality renders older citizens more prone to crime. The paper concludes with appropriate policy recommendations and subsequent research directions.</p>
