The Center for Elder and Courts' new self-paced course, Justice Responses to Elder Abuse, offers an array of information and resources to address and reduce elder abuse. It is designed for use by practitioners and members of the public alike. The course presents the latest research on aging issues, including physical, cognitive and emotional changes that increase an older person’s vulnerability to abuse. Medical, prosecution and judicial experts explore the dynamics of elder abuse and highlight individual and systemic barriers to effective remedies for victims. Practitioners in the justice system will discover how specific tools can improve access to justice and enhance outcomes for older victims of abuse. The course units include a mix of expert presentations and discussions, video clips, interactive exercises and supplemental resources.
