KeywordsCrime ; Elder abuse.
AnnotationThe experiences of older people as both victims and perpetrators of crime are examined and analysed. The authors draw on British and American research to illustrate the extent of present-day criminal victimisation in the home and in institutions, the social theories which attempt to explain that experience, and the types of resolution available. The offences to which older people are prone, and the implications for penal policy of an increase in the older prison population are considered. (RH).
