Описание: Elder abuse is a national and international health crisis. It is a growing threat to a vulnerable population. Elder Abuse: Forensic and Legal Aspects is multidisciplinary and focuses on the psychological, financial, and physical abuse and neglect that are widespread across socioeconomic levels. It provides expert information on forensic and legal topics professionals need to understand in confronting elder abuse. The topics included are those most important in the detection and prosecution of elder abuse. Identification and epidemiology are discussed, as well as types and presentations of abuse. Written at a level for both professionals and students who wish to gain a broader understanding of specific forensic topics in the investigation and prosecution of elder maltreatment. This approach distinguishes Elder Abuse: Forensic and Legal Aspects from all others on this topic, as it will be primarily forensic focused, with applications to science and the law.
