| Annotation | Elder abuse is a global phenomenon. Despite recognition and action several decades ago in a number of countries, in many others the phenomena of abuse and neglect have been much more recently identified as in need of attention. This paper discusses the situation relating to responses to and interventions in elder abuse that have been evolving in a number of European countries, and which are at different stages of development. The examples provided will assist in meeting the worldwide challenge that elder abuse presents. (RH). |
