“…Unlike those in North Carolina, however, African-Americans in this study placed more emphasis on psychological abuse than on physical abuse as unacceptable behavior by family members. Also, like Hudson's (1994) investigation on the meaning of elder abuse among middle-aged and older adults, African-Americans in this study put considerable emphasis into elder rights. Finally, similar to findings from Longres, Raymond & Kimmel (1991), there was a willingness among African-Americans here to contact agencies which serve elders in response to mistreatment.…”

“…In one of the few investigations considering generational differences, Hudson (1994) compared the meaning of elder abuse among middle-aged and older adults to that derived from a nationwide panel of elder mistreatment experts. In general, respondents supported the taxonomy and definitions of experts.…”

Ethnic and generational variation in elder mistreatment has only recently been explored. This research builds upon pioneer work in the field by examining perceptions of elder mistreatment across four ethnic groups (European-American, African-American, Puerto Rican, and Japanese-American) and two generations (elder and 'baby boom' caregiver). Focus group discussions revealed differences in defining elder mistreatment and responding to it. They also suggested that psychological abuse and neglect may be more important mistreatment forms than previously acknowledged. Policy and practice implications of study results are considered. jg]Key words gw]Elder mistreatment gw]Elder abuse gw]Ethnic groups gw]Generations.

“…Two studies have shown that the older person's perception of a situation may be the salient factor in identifying behavior as abuse (Gebotys, O'Connor, & Mair, 1992;Hudson, 1994). These perceptions are affected by cultural values, attitudes, and traditions that define what is acceptable (non-reported) or unacceptable (reported) behavior (Griffin, 1994).…”

Using all 27 geographical areas in Massachusetts served by protective services agencies (PS) as the units of analysis, this study sought to determine the factors that influence elder abuse reporting rates. The dependent variable was the number of reports per 1,000 persons aged 60 years and older received during 1994. Of the ten factors entered into a multiple linear regression analysis, four were significant {R 2 -63%). Higher rates of reporting were associated with lower socioeconomic status of the older population, more community training of area professionals, higher agency service rating scores, and a lower community agency-PS relationship score. The inverse relationship between the rate of reporting and community agency-PS relationship score is contrary to conventional wisdom and suggests that the factor may be masking or representing other associations.

“…Significant differences in elder abuse reporting and investigating are evident among states and within states at the county level (Jogerst et al, 2003(Jogerst et al, , 2006Wolf & Li, 1999). Various reasons suggested for the differences and lack of reporting abuse to APS are ethnicity, victim isolation, embarrassment, fear of retaliation and relocation, lack of knowledge regarding reporting, and perpetrator is a family member (Griffin, 1994;Hudson, 1994;Jogerst, Daly, & Ingram, 2001). Wolf and Li (1999) found that lower socioeconomic status of the older population, more community training of area professionals, higher agency service rating, and lower community agency and protective service relationship (commitment to report) were all associated with higher elder abuse reporting rates.…”

This study evaluated on a county level the association of Iowa's domestic dependent-adult abuse investigations with the location of adult protective services (APS) offices, rurality, government resources, felony charges and prosecutions, child abuse reports, and census demographics. In 2003, the rate of dependent-adult abuse investigations for Iowa was 0.70 per 1,000 population age 18 and older. Higher rates of child abuse investigations, felony prosecutions, sheriff's annual salary, and lower rates of child abuse substantiations are associated with higher rates of dependent-adult abuse investigations and substantiations.
