Description and Table of Contents
Description
Elder financial exploitation is the illegal or improper use of an older adult's funds or property. It has been described as an epidemic with society-wide repercussions. While combating elder financial exploitation is largely the responsibility of state and local social service, criminal justice, and consumer protection agencies, the federal government has a role to play in this area as well. This book describes the challenges states face in preventing and responding to elder financial exploitation, as well as the actions some federal agencies have taken to help states address these challenges.
