Abstract

[Elder abuse is an issue which permeates all societies. As global populations increase, safeguarding older people is a fundamental goal of societies. Within the manifestations of elder abuse, financial abuse (FA) has been shown to be the first or second more prevalent form of abuse (Naughton et al. 2010; Acierno et al. 2010; Yon et al. 2017). Yet, it is generally under reported, under prosecuted and under researched (Jackson and Hafemeister 2011). Consequently, in a White House conference on ageing in the United States, Pillemer et al. (2015) identified FA as a key policy and research area for action and it has been recognized as an important public health challenge (Payne and Strasser 2012; Yon et al. 2017).]
