| Annotation | Abuse and neglect of older adults occurs in all Canadian communities, and solutions require the coordinated efforts of society at large. Amelioration entails more than a legislative approach. Prevention of this growing problem is a social responsibility that requires networking and collaboration between different disciplines in all sectors of the community. This article will discuss elder abuse in Canada from a historical perspective, as well as current legislation, model programmes, and research initiatives. It is intended to allow for comparison from the various countries presented in this issue of Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect. Hopefully, readers will find some models or ideas they may wish to explore or even replicate within their own jurisdictions. (KJ/RH). |
