FINAL REPORT, DATED FEBRUARY 1977, ON A PROJECT WHICH HAD AS ITS GOAL THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODEL PROGRAMS OR PROCEDURES TO ASSIST POLICE AGENICES IN MEETING THE NEEDS OF THEIR LOCAL SENIOR CITIZENS.

Abstract

TO DEVELOP A BASE OF INFORMATION CONCERNING THE CURRENT PRACTICES OF LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE FIELD OF CRIMES AGAINST THE ELDERLY, A SURVEY WAS SENT TO POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN THE NATION'S 500 LARGEST CITIES AND TO A SELECTED GROUP OF AGENCIES. A LITERATURE SEARCH AND FIELD VISITS ALSO WERE MADE. BASED ON THE RESEARCH FINDINGS, A DIRECTORY OF PROGRAMS FOR PREVENTING CRIME AGAINST SENIOR CITIZENS WAS PRODUCED. TWO ENTIRE ISSUES OF A NATIONAL JOURNAL ALSO WERE PREPARED TO SUPPLY INFORMATION ON ON-GOING PROGRAMS IN THE FIELD. FOR RELATED INFORMATION, SEE NCJ-37444. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)...KAP
