Elder Abuse: Policy

Abstract: In the quarter century since elder abuse was first recognized, researchers, policy makers, and practitioners have struggled to achieve consensus on how to define the problem and what the appropriate response should be. This article describes the main subcategories of abuse and explains the controversies over definitions. It further describes common risk factors and impediments to assessment. It explains common interventions and emphasizes the need for multidisciplinary responses.
