This book describes what has been done and what remains to be done to prevent elder abuse, treat its effects, and ensure justice. It further addresses the broader need to fortify our long-term care, protective service, and legal systems to meet the new and imminent demands of a burgeoning elderly population. Nerenberg explores trends that have shaped or define practice in the field including the ''criminalization'' of elder abuse, the Supreme Court's Olmstead decision, an increasingly multicultural elderly population, and heightened understanding the ''psychology of victimization.''. Elder Abuse Prevention describes: . OCo elder forensics centers. OCo elder courts. OCo family justice centers. OCo elder shelters. OCo new ''hybrid'' multidisciplinary teams. OCo asset investigators. OCo mass marketing fraud prevention. OCo support groups for victims. OCo restorative justice interventions. OCo techniques to improve restitution. OCo international initiatives. OCo culturally specific outreach."
