520 _aProvides a much-needed challenge to the social, economic, and cultural contexts in which elder abuse take place, illustrating the ways in which ageism, lack of resources, target-driven policy, and organisational cultures of blame and scapegoating facilitate such abuse. The author argues for the development of ethically driven, research-informed policies and practices that will better protect older people. Chapters include: Contexts to safeguarding older people from abuse; Adult protection, safeguarding and personalisation; Public policy implementation in street-level bureaucracies; Cultures and contexts of complicity; Ethics, policy and practice.
