In-and-of-itself, this is not a criminal 'charge.'

Elder abuse is a general description that encompasses any offenses that can be/could be, committed against elderly citizens (e.g.: assault - neglect - embezzlement - robbery by fear - etc - etc) each of which carry their own penalties which become 'enhanced' with additional penalites if/when they are committed against elders.

How many elderly people aged 66 and over suffer abuse each year in England and Wales?

Elder abuse is on the rise because baby boomers are now in that category. Sometimes it's family abuse going full circle - abusive parents who become dependant on their children because of age are frequenly abused by those children because it's how the family functions. Abusive treatment could also come from a caretaker at a nursing home or a stranger who takes advantage financially or intimidates an elder. Like most abuse statistics, if you find one on elder abuse it will be an estimate. Most abuse goes unreported and uncounted. ____________________________________________________________ The National Center on Elder Abuse estimated that more than a million (1,000,935) seniors suffered abuse or neglect in a single year.
