DV in Later Life
Rachel Ramirez

This workshop will help participants understand the dynamics of domestic and family violence in the context of victims age 50 and older who are in a trust relationship with the perpetrator. The workshop will compare how DV in later life compares with younger domestic violence or other types of elder abuse. It will review emerging research that challenges assumptions about victims, perpetrators and causes. It will introduce possible implications for appropriate service delivery and prevention programming.
