The paucity of data on elder mistreatment is made worse by the intersectionality of race and age. This program focuses on risk factors for older African-American adults for elder abuse within the framework of health disparities and social justice. It also offers resources for legal professionals interested in expanding their knowledge in the area so they can engage in culturally appropriate approaches to justice for this community.
