Description

Crime and Abuse in Later Life: A Criminological Analysis This book examines the experiences of older people as both victims and perpetrators of crime. Drawing on research from British and North American sources, it explores the historical context of elderly victimisation, the prevalence of abuse in private spaces, and the social theories that attempt to explain these phenomena. The authors also investigate the implications of an increasing number of elderly individuals within the criminal justice system, including the types of offences they are most likely to commit. By shedding light on these issues, the book provides a valuable perspective on the experiences of older people in relation to crime and abuse. This book is essential reading for students, academics, and professionals working with older adults, as it offers a unique criminological analysis of a topic that is often overlooked.
