| Annotation | Results of a 1997 survey of adult protective services workers in 43 US states are summarised. The survey yielded ratings of police and victim assistants in detecting and treating elder abuse, and estimates of the likelihood that criminal justice professionals would provide ten forms of assistance in cases of elder abuse. Respondents also reported the most helpful services supplied by criminal justice professionals, those most difficult to obtain and overall ratings of such professionals in cases of elder abuse. Findings provide insights about relationships between adult protective services workers and criminal justice professionals. (KJ/RH). |
