| Annotation | Elder abuse research reports little consensus regarding gender and age. This project examined 99 incidents of elder abuse by an adult child, and 86 incidents of elder abuse by a spouse, and compared the groups using the variables of gender, age and incidents. The results are discussed from a feminist and age perspective. Differences between the groups were found, namely that elder abuse by an adult child is most likely to be financial abuse. Traditional ideas about women and men, as well as ideas about the nature of the old were found to be factors in elder abusive relationships. (RH). |
