Unveiling
the elder abuse
SIMONA HVALIČ
Interest in elder abuse and
recognition of it as a social problem in need of attention
has developed in many countries in the recent
years. However, this kind of abuse is still largely hidden.
The global statistics are sorely
lacking, therefore experts, practicians, researchers are
only guessing about the extent of elder
abuse, but they all believe that the existing data and
reported cases represent only the tip of
the iceberg. The abuses are happening in many environments,
but the most concerning are those that are perpetrated
behind closed doors, in residential or in domestic settings.
The author presents the results of the existing surveys
and some of the characteristics of abusers and of abused
elderly people.
Key-words: old people,
elder abuse, institutional abuse, domestic elder abuse
