What types of laws and legislation are there to prevent elder abuse?
State laws vary, but increasingly, state attorneys general offices and law enforcement have stepped up prosecution efforts. Nationally, The Elder Justice Coalition is working to help pass an act that would provide federal leadership to reduce elder abuse. In addition, Title VII of the Older Americans Act, enacted in 1992, helps fund prevention of elder abuse, neglect and exploitation.
