Abstract
In recent years, the research enthusiasm for crimes committed by the elderly has gradually declined, and if crimes committed by the elderly are not prevented, with the acceleration of the aging process of the population and the growth of the number of elderly people, the social harm will become increasingly significant and crime among the elderly will also become increasingly difficult to control. This paper will start from the perspective of law and economics, and introduce the way of thinking of economics to fill the shortcomings of traditional law, making it more visual, from abstract to concrete. From the “cost and benefit” level in economics and combined with the actual situation, the reason for the crime of the elderly is because of its low crime cost and high crime income, and at the same time combined with economic knowledge to think about how to reduce the probability of elderly’s crime.
