Prosecuting Cases of Elder Abuse

June 2010

This panel will feature NIJ-funded research that has direct, practical implications for the prosecution of elder abuse cases.

The panel will also provide the results from an evaluation of five innovative court-based models that target perpetrators of elder abuse.
