“…Literature cites some of reasons behind this apparent failure to report, such as: lack of awareness about reporting responsibilities, lack of consensus on the definition of elder abuse, a tendency to protect the confidentiality of the client, fear of litigation by the perpetrators and/or by the victim, lack of trust in the APS system and so on (All, 1994;Brownell & Rosich, 2007;Buzgova & Ivanova, 2009;Lowenstein, 2009;McNeely & Cook, 2007).…”

The purpose of this study is to understand the evolution, structure, and processes of statewide administrative structures of elder abuse reporting and response systems. This inquiry examines the background of elder abuse reporting in the United States. Specifically, it reviews the philosophical foundations of the policies that undergird the mechanisms and administration of elder abuse reporting systems. The study also examines the available descriptive data on service-delivery models across states to further describe the characteristics of the system; what type of entities form the elder abuse reporting system? Is the information-gathering network of the system centralized or decentralized? Does service delivery employ public-private partnership and involvement of multidisciplinary teams of service providers, and how are these characteristics distributed across states? Finally, the manuscript explores the implications of the organizational configurations of the Adult Protective Services (APS) on the efficacy of elder abuse reporting and treatment.
