First sentence: Research on elder abuse in the United States has made great strides in helping to delineate definitions of abuse, neglect, and exploitation, explore causes of various types of maltreatment, develop and implement ways to treat and prevent the problem, design tools to assess the risk factors of abuse, and evaluate and validate programs serving victims and perpetrators (Stein, 1989).
