I&#x27;ve read some sources that state as adults get older, they lose some of their inhibitions even if they don&#x27;t suffer from dementia. However, I couldn&#x27;t find any scholarly papers to back that up. Most of them are specific case studies, not statistical investigations.<p>What I did find however, is a paper that claims older adults are not more likely to be defrauded than the rest of the population. I&#x27;m somewhat skeptical of the claim, but it should be evaluated: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pps.sagepub.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;9&#x2F;4&#x2F;427.short" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pps.sagepub.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;9&#x2F;4&#x2F;427.short</a>
