Description:... First Published in 1999. Family Crimes Against the Elderly, A Study of Elder Abuse and the New York Police Department represents an important contribution to the available knowledge on elder abuse as a criminal justice issue. While most studies of elder abuse to date have examined this social problem from a health, mental health or social service perspective, few have focused on it from the perspective of law enforcement.
