This study will major on elder abuse as well as the different
ways that can be used to handle elder abuse.

To identify the current status as well as quality of elder abuse
study, a well-detailed research of health science literature was
carried out and every article was graded. All literature searches
were carried out from the inception of every index through
March 10, 2014 (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016).

2. Results
The majority of the elderly have suffered from abuse. In a
period of 10 months, 40 cases, 51% had been physically abused,
10% had hearing as well as visual impairment and 41% were
physically abused (Daly, Merchant & Jogerst, 2016). The most
common form of abuse among these individuals was physical,
psychological as well as material abuse.

well as human right issue and the abuse of old individuals are
related to inappropriate health outcomes from minor injuries to
disabilities, long-lasting psychological issues, suicide, and
maximized risk of being hospitalized (Daly, Merchant &

counseling, adult day care programs, educating people on how
to recognize and report elder abuse, and listening to the older
people and their caregivers to understand their challenges and
give support.
Conclusion

Lie detection is an important topic in psychology and law and i t
is among the areas that are used in psychology. It is not hard to
identify the reason why it is essential to know if one is lying or
telling the truth during police cases which involves court trials,
criminal and intelligence interviews (Vicianova, 2015).
Telling lies as well as other types of deception are consistent
characteristics of human social behavior. In order to enhance lie
detection, psychologists as well as practitioners are required to
come up with a way of detecting the lies. These tools tend to

4. implement the whole possible solutions such as; assessing the
behavior, speech, and evaluating peripheral physiological
feedback to recording the activity of the brain. Lie detection is
a part of some criminals, clinical or legal professions. The
police are challenged by deception mostly in the identification
of facts in crimes which have been carried out. Judges and
lawyers search for justice in legal issues as well as medical
professionals require the facts for effective diagnosis and
productive management of patients.
Today, the police are facing challenges associated with
deception majorly in the identification of facts in crimes that
have been conducted. There are little or no reliable methods to
deception. Therefore, there are no techniques that can be used
to differentiate the erroneous perspective as well as other forms
of emotional expression. Therefore, this is a challenge mainly
when one attempts to account for contextual factors and also
motivational influences. There are a number of issues associated
with the inability to differentiate between the genuine and
deceptive information (Goswami, et al., 2016). In addition,
there are limited studies on the issue of pertaining the available
methods of detecting lies in forensic investigations. The main
aim of the Capstone Project will be to identify the available
methods that can be used to enhance lie detection in forensic
psychology. We shall as well consider the elements that should
be considered when developing a lie detector.
