| Annotation | The most frequent and well known cases of abuse in Italy have happened in institutional care. However, this article suggests that the family appears to be where efforts for the discovery of abuse, intervention and prevention should be focused. Prevention of abuse has been centred on the work of trade unions, where many of its former workers are now pensioners; and on an information campaign against violence toward the elderly within the family by the Centre for Communication Studies in Rome. |
