| Annotation | The dynamics of undue influence (UI) have many similarities with domestic violence, stalking and. grooming behaviour used by some sexual predators. This article should help practitioners - particularly law enforcement investigators and prosecutors - to better recognise UI as a pattern of behaviours, not as an isolated incident. Understanding the dynamics of UI will enhance professionals' appreciation of the responses of the victims and the manipulative nature of exploiters. Strategies that have been used effectively with domestic violence, stalking, and some sexual abuse cases may provide remedies for victims of UI and criminal justice options for holding perpetrators accountable. Enhanced awareness of these dynamics should lead to improved investigations, more effective strategies when interviewing and working with victims, and more successful prosecutions of perpetrators who use UI to financially exploit an older person.
