| Annotation | This article provides a context and overview for what is known about polyvictimisation in later life. Drawing from previous literature, the article includes a definition of the phenomenon, as well as theoretical constructs by which it may be understood. In the context of elder abuse, polyvictimisation is also referred to "multi-faceted abuse", "multiple victimisation" or "hybrid co-occurring forms of elder abuse". It can therefore variously include any physical, sexual or psychological abuse, as well as neglect, abandonment and financial exploitation of an older person by another person or entity; and it can occur in any setting. The author places other forms of polyvictimisation within the context of elder abuse, recognises frameworks for conceptualising polyvictimisation in later life, and distinguishes between polyvictimisation at younger ages and polyvictimisation in later life. The paper concludes with implications of the framework for research, practice, and policy. (RH). |
