This document discusses elder abuse, including definitions, statistics, types of abuse, and potential indicators of abuse. It defines elder abuse as harmful acts toward elderly adults, including physical, sexual, emotional/psychological, financial exploitation, and neglect. Statistics show most elder abuse is unreported due to victims knowing their abusers. Types of abuse include physical abuse, violations of basic rights, self-neglect, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, and financial abuse. Potential indicators of each type are provided. Case scenarios demonstrate examples of neglect and different types of abuse.

Capstone Presentation for the Grambing State University Symposium. Presented by Vonthisha Wiley, Thomika Andrews, Yolanda Adams, Caterra Brooms, and Tiffany Tolliver
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has
defined ‘Child Abuse’ as a violation of basic
human rights of a child, constituting all forms of
physical, emotional ill treatment, sexual harm,
neglect or negligent treatment, commercial or
other exploitation, resulting in actual harm or
potential harm to the child’s health, survival,
development or dignity in the context of a relationship of responsibility, trust or power. ‘Child
Neglect’ is stated to occur when there is failure
of a parent/guardian to provide for the development of the child, when a parent/guardian is in
a position to do so (where resources available
to the family or care giver; distinguished from
poverty).

The Sociology of the Life Course 1 - An introduction to the sociology of agei...brunogiegerich
This series of presentations are an accompaniment to terrific textbook 'Sociology, 7th edition' by Giddens and Sutton (2013). There is a very strong focus on visuals, with many additional short activities designed to foster interaction between teachers and students.
The text from Giddens and Sutton is usually paraphrased and reworded to aid the comprehension of students, particularity those of lower language ability than Giddens and Sutton had in mind.
The sociology of the age and the life course is the perfect embodiment of contemporary sociology as a whole, and a branch of the discipline with direct relevance to every individual in late-modern capitalist industrial societies.
Sociology is the study of how the structure of any particular society largely dictates how individuals must live; the analysis of the plight of the modern individual in a rapidly changing world. By using this frame of reference, we often reveal social phenomena previously regarded as "natural" and eternal as -in actual fact- "social constructions" that are completely dependent on the socio-historical era for their own existence.
The sociology of the life course looks at how the meanings attached to something as fundamental as a "stage of life" (e.g. childhood) change across time and space; in other words, in different historical eras and -still today- in different places around this complex and diverse planet, the expectations attached to -say- being pre-teen, a teenager, or someone over the age of 50 are products of capitalist, industrial modernity and therefore very, very recent developments in our 800,000 year human history.
This series begins with an introduction to the different aspects of ageing, with an emphasis on the development of social self (looking-glass self), which is something all humans do regardless of time and space; it is part of the psychological process of growing up in all societies.
We then establish what social ageing is; the fundamentals of the sociology of ageing.
Later chapters of the series analyze the different stages of life, in turn, in socio-historical perspective; beginning with what we would today call "childhood" (pre-teen), before looking at "youth", "young adulthood", "mature adulthood" and finally "later life".
Identifying & Reporting Elder Abuse and NeglectAngela Vagotis
Awareness is one of the most important weapons in combating the prevalent but often ignored problem of elder abuse and neglect. Registered nurse attorney Angela T. Vagotis recommends effective and proven tips to help the public identify and report the abuse or neglect of the elderly.
Elder abuse includes physical, emotional, or sexual harm inflicted upon an older adult, their financial exploitation, or neglect of their welfare by people who are directly responsible for their care.
This phenomenon has little content in professional literature and on the internet, especially bullying by the female spouse. Domestic bullying occurs when a spouse engages in frequent criticism, threats, insults, emotional manipulation, demeaning language or bouts of anger, and is a major problem resulting in family and marriage breakdown, depression, homicide, suicide, addiction, homelessness, criminality and mental distress leading to cycles of abuse for the adult children of family bullying.
7. Types of Abuse Physical Abuse : Physical abuse consists of an intentional infliction of physical harm of an older person. The abuse can range from slapping an older adult to beatings to excessive forms of physical restraint (e.g. chaining).
