| Annotation | Various perspectives on the nature of elder mistreatment are presented: as a social psychological construct or medical syndrome; as an act perpetrated by others or by oneself; or as an event occurring in domestic settings or in institutions. Some articles demonstrate the wide array of projects and disciplines involved in elder abuse intervention: adult protective services; domestic violence prevention programmes; and the law enforcement, criminal justice, legal and judicial systems. The challenges still facing practitioners and policy-makers are examined. (RH). |
