| Annotation | 20%-60% of adult Americans have been victims or attempted victims of consumer fraud; and possibly only one in ten thousand fraud victims report the crime to the authorities. This guide identifies and discusses two general categories for financial crimes against older people: fraud committed by strangers; and financial exploitation by relatives and caregivers. It describes how police in the US can measure the effectiveness of their efforts; and includes a summary of responses to financial crimes against older people. (RH). |
