“…One challenge arising from this demographic shift is that a greater number of older adults are victims of crime and abuse than younger generations (e.g. Acierno, Hernandez-Tejada, Muzzy, & Steve, 2010;Bennett, Jenkins, & Asif, 2000). Older adults' perceived vulnerability could be a reason why they are deliberately targeted as victims (e.g.…”

We tested whether there are age-related declines in detecting cues to trustworthiness, a skill that has been demonstrated to be rapid and automatic in younger adults. Young (M age D 21.2 years) and older (M age D 70.15 years) adults made criminal appearance judgments to unfamiliar faces, which were presented at a duration of 100, 500 or 1,000 ms. Participants' response times and judgment confidence were recorded. Older were poorer than young adults at judging trustworthiness at 100 ms, and were slower overall in making their judgments. Further, the cues (i.e. perceptions of anger, trustworthiness and happiness) underlying criminality judgments were the same across age groups. Judgment confidence increased with increasing exposure duration for both age groups, while older adults were less confident in their judgments overall than their young counterparts. The implications are discussed.

“…In addition to the increased likelihood of older adults encountering crime in their own communities (Acierno et al, 2010;Brogden & Nijhar, 2000), charities and governmental agencies have documented an increase in the reported abuse and maltreatment of older adults in hospitals and care homes (Bennett, Jenkins & Asif, 2000). These developments demand innovation in public policyincluding policy within the criminal justice system (Kalache & Keller, 2000).…”

Older adults’ memory reports are often less complete and accurate than those by younger adults. The current study assessed the suitability of the Self-Administered Interview (SAI) as retrieval support for older eyewitnesses, and examines whether experience with the SAI leads to improved performance on subsequent events where the SAI is not used. Participants recalled an event with the SAI or free recall instructions. After 1 week, all participants watched a second event and freely recalled its content. SAI participants reported more correct details for the initial event, and a “transfer” of the initial recall advantage to the second event was observed.

“…Such mistreatment may be attributed to patriarchy and high masculine society (W. L. Lai et al, 2014 ). Bennett et al ( 2000 ) analyzed that between the year 1997 to 1999, a 1085 women and 336 men called at elder people helpline. In the further studies “men were more likely to speak about mistreatment in public places” (Bowes et al, 2012 , p. 265).…”

Elder abuse is evil in human society. The present paper unveils this social issue from two major factors psychological and physical abuse. The study sensitizes the subject matter of study by examining the effects of demographic variables like gender and age on elders. For achieving the purpose of the study the research is a design by exploring and validating the factors of measuring elder abuse through the mix method approach, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). To test the established hypotheses of the effects of the demographic variable on elders the two-way ANOVA was applied. The present study verdicts the development of a sound measurement scale with two influence factors. The separate and composite effect of aging and gender type on elder abuse was evidenced. These findings are crucial especially when the prevalence of elder abuse is higher during COVID-19. The limited novel understudied variable opens an avenue for further research in behavioral and demographic variables like marital status. The present study has practical insinuation for caring the elders in any human society like physical and psychological treatment of elders to avoid abusive situations. In addition, the study attempts to validate the novel issues like psychological and physical abuse of elders in the dimensions of demographic variables. Some rare studies in the Indian continent established the motivation of conducting the research on this dimension.
