ELDER ABUSE RESEARCH STUDY Elder Abuse Research AHP currently is completing an analysis of elder abuse across an entire state for a one year period. The study represents the most comprehensive investigation of its kind ever conducted based on actual incidents reported to law enforcement for all women fifty years and over. Awarded by the National Institute of Justice, the research will provide seminal data on elder victimization and the prevalence of abuse, profile elder abusers, study the response of the criminal justice and adult protective services, and develop a predictive model of those abused elders most vulnerable to continued abuse.
