Scope
The Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect is the peer-reviewed quarterly journal that explores the advances in research, policy and practice, and clinical and ethical issues surrounding the abuse and neglect of older people. This unique forum provides state-of-the-art research and practice that is both international and multidisciplinary in scope. The journal’s broad, comprehensive approach is only one of its strengths—it presents training issues, research findings, case studies, practice and policy issues, book and media reviews, commentary, and historical background on a wide range of topics. Readers get tools and techniques needed for better detecting and responding to actual or potential elder abuse and neglect. The Journal provides information on: preventive strategies for elders; incidence and prevalence studies; mandatory reporting of abuse, neglect, and violence; standards for gerontological nursing practice; family caregiving of older adults; dependent adult children as perpetrators of neglect and abuse; the intergenerational cycle of violence in child and elder abuse; victim assistance programs and evaluations; therapeutic recreation; spousal abuse; elder self-neglect. Journal provides crucial information for professionals in social work, nursing, medicine, law, gerontology, adult protective services, criminal justice, sociology, psychology, domestic violence, counseling, ethics, public policy, aging network, research, practitioner, educator, student, and policymakers.
