This study examines the frequency and cost of repeat mail fraud victimization in the United States using longitudinal data from a unique source: records from four scam enterprises that operated over a nearly 20-year period. Findings show that most mail fraud victims experience repeat victimization and a small percentage account for most of the losses. Sixty-two per cent of victims responded to more than one mail solicitation. Chronic victims, who…

A telephone survey was administered to 214 investment fraud vi…

Using Latent Class Analysis to Identify Profiles of Elder Abuse Perpetrators
This is the first quantitative study to identify and characterize abuser subtypes. Tailored interventions are needed to reduce problem behaviors and enhance strengths specific to each abuser profile
Multicultural voices
Despite international growth in policies to increase the identification and response to elder abuse and neglect, there remain considerable barriers to treating the problem. Some of these barriers may be attributed to how older adults from different racial/ethnic backgrounds define, experience and seek to remedy elder mistreatment. Using focus group discussions based on case vignettes, this paper examines how older adults from different racial and…
