The purpose of this research paper is to examine elder abuse in the form of fraud and financial exploitation. Research studies were reviewed to understand how frequently these issues occur, what makes a senior citizen more susceptible to victimization, the common characteristics of offenders, and actions that can be taken to prevent these crimes from transpiring.Methods: Related articles published in academic journals describe the degree to which elder financial abuse is prevalent in the United States. These studies contain both quantifiable and empirical data.Results: The data reviewed shows that financial abuses against senior citizens are a growing problem. Fraud, a crime committed by strangers, continues to rise as more people aged 55 years and older use the internet to pay bills, shop for goods, and pursue romantic relationships. Conversely, elder financial exploitation, conducted by relatives, close associates, and caregivers, has been an issue predating the 1970s when the federal government first discussed the matter. Evaluating the cited studies help to explain when abuse is most likely to occur, what factors are usually present that lead to the victimization of the elderly, and what drives an offender to commit such a heinous act.Conclusion: There is hope that with the multidisciplinary assistance of federal, state, and local governments, the growing issues of elder financial abuse can be addressed. That will require the assistance of law enforcement, banks, and private-sector companies to incorporate better risk controls into their business models to help protect this vulnerable population.
