This textbook focuses on the criminality and victimization of the
elderly population. It provides a global perspective on the extent
of the elderly crime and victimization, with international
comparisons for addressing the problem. It explores the extent and
types of crimes committed by the elderly, the characteristics of
older criminals, and the responses of the criminal justice system
(including prisons and institutions) to elderly criminals,
including: diversion programs, community-based treatment programs,
and special programs including health & mental health care
services for older prisoners. The second part of the book covers
victimization of the elderly. Research findings show that certain
crimes including fraud, theft, and certain types of financial
crimes disproportionately affect older people, and these types of
crimes are growing in prevalence. This work explores the
characteristics of older victims and the types of crimes that
affect them. Finally, the book presents comparative international
research on approaches to crime prevention, education, and
legislation to address the victimization of the elderly. This work
will be of interest to students in criminology and criminal
justice, as well as related fields such as sociology, and
gerontology.
