Delivering the first comprehensive analysis of elder justice and
its implications for policy and practice, this book offers a
promising approach that ensures the rights, safety, and security of
all older Americans. It explains the antecedents of elder justice
in the fields of elder abuse, aging, and public health, and
describes the opportunities for achieving more comprehensive,
cohesive, and integrated public policy. The text examines the
cumulative impact of ageism, racism, sexism, heterosexism, class,
and other forms of disadvantage and isolation on the lives of older
adults and how these contribute to poverty, disease, disability,
abuse, and neglect. It draws from the fields of public health and
health equity, and plans devised by international organizations
that frame elder abuse as a human rights issue. Practical and
achievable goals in the prevention of elder abuse aid policy
makers, program developers, grant-makers, and service providers in
the fields of gerontology, social work, public health, and nursing
in their efforts towards elder abuse prevention. Key Features:
Identifies institutionalized ageism in pubic policy and practice
Proposes core principles of elder justice to guide policy and
service development Introduces knowledge and techniques from the
fields of elder abuse and public health Provides greater
understanding of social determinants and how they are addressed in
the public health arena Offers techniques for improving access to
the legal system for people with physical, cognitive, and
communication disabilities Offers practical and achievable goals;
objectives and recommendations; and models for state, national, and
international policy and programs.
