Annotation	The abuse of older adults in our society is a recognised yet understudied issue, compared to other forms of family violence. In ths article, research, theory and practice in family violence and older adult abuse are compared; elements that can be transferred to the field are analysed; and gaps are identified. An extensive Canadian and international literature review, two focus focus with local stakeholders in Nova Scotia, and interviews with six key informants recognised as national experts on the subject in Canada formed that basis of this analysis. The results informed the development of a critical-ecological model designed to address the gaps and advance the field. (RH).
