Crimes against the elderly

This site serves as a resource for victims of elder abuse and financial exploitation and their families, practitioners who serve them, law enforcement agencies and prosecutors, and researchers seeking to understand and address this silent epidemic plaguing our Nation's elders. Victims and family members will find information about how to report and get assistance for victims of elder abuse and financial exploitation.

To address the need for resources and strategies related to elder abuse, the Office of Justice Programs presents this compilation of publications and related materials focusing on physical, sexual, and psychological abuse; neglect; and financial exploitation.
