Summaries of National Elder Abuse Data: An Exploratory Study of State Statistics Based on a Survey of State Adult Protective Service and Aging Agencies

摘要

The purpose of this report is to provide summaries of the elder abuse statistics for FY 86, FY 87, and FY 88 that the National Aging Resource Center on Elder Abuse (NARCEA) collected from state adult protective service (APS) and aging agencies. Although the report primarily is designed to serve the interests of state APS and aging professionals, other readers concerned with the problem of elder abuse also are expected to benefit from the information contained in this report.
