Dissertation directed by Edith Greene, Ph.D. The fastest growing segment of the U.S. population is adults ages 60 and older. Subsequently, cases of elder abuse are on the rise with the most common form being financial victimization. Approximately only one in five cases of elder financial abuse (EFA) are reported to authorities. The present study used vignette methodology to determine 1) under what circumstances cognitively-intact older adults would report EFA, 2) to whom they would report, 3) what impediments prevent them from reporting, and 4) how their willingness to report is influenced by age-related self-perceptions and attitudes about aging. Two important factors that influenced reporting behavior emerged from the findings: the quality of the relationship between the victim and alleged offender; and age-related stereotypes.

  • THE TRUTH ABOUT ELDER ABUSE What You Need to Know to Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones
    THE TRUTH ABOUT ELDER ABUSE What You Need to Know to Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones © AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ESTATE PLANNING ATTORNEYS, INC. The Truth About Elder Abuse 1 THE TRUTH ABOUT ELDER ABUSE: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR LOVED ONES Imagine this: You are physically frail, and you have to rely on other people for help with the most basic daily tasks. You need assistance getting out of bed in the morning, bathing and getting yourself dressed, preparing meals, and getting out of the house to go grocery shopping or to visit friends. On top of this, your memory isn’t what it used to be. You have trouble recalling recent events and your math skills are starting to slip. Now, imagine that the person you rely on for help is systematically stealing your money, threatening and screaming at you, or even physically assaulting you. This may be your child, your spouse, or your paid caregiver. You don’t know where to turn for help, and you’re not sure you have the words to express what is happening to you, anyway. You feel alone, helpless, and in despair. For too many senior citizens, this is a daily reality. Elder abuse is a quiet but growing epidemic. The National Center on Elder Abuse reports that millions of seniors are abused each year.1 It is difficult to come up with an accurate figure, because only a fraction of victims report their abuse. It is believed that incidents of elder abuse are severely underreported to adult protective services, and only about 1 in 14 are brought to the attention of authorities.2 This means we need to educate ourselves about elder abuse and be watchful in protecting our loved ones and ourselves.

Adult Protective Services (APS) and law enforcement are first responders in most cases and are doing an exceptional job; however, more needs to be done. Financial abuse is difficult to prosecute due to the complex nature of the cases.
