Following Part 1 episode on Crime prevention and safety, Sergeant Kimberly joins us again to discuss the important issue of elder abuse and how to detect, prevent, and intervene in cases of abuse. Australian research suggests 1 in 6 older Australians experience some form of abuse, with psychological abuse being the most common form. Sergeant Kimberly shares insights on the role of her crime prevention unit in addressing elder abuse, including the signs and indicators of abuse. She also discusses the challenges they face in detecting and preventing elder abuse and the effective prevention strategies recommended for older adults at risk. The episode concludes with advice for older adults and their families who may be concerned about the possibility of elder abuse but are unsure about what steps to take next.
