• Adult Protective Services (APS) and Elder Abuse (December 2007)
  This annotated bibliography highlights recently published literature on APS professionals and programs. A number of articles focus on professional practice; others discuss research conducted on APS services and programs; and some address the relationship between APS legislation and service delivery. Because of its considerable potential to shed light on the causes and contributing factors of elder abuse, we have included research that is based upon APS case data. Given the necessity of a multidisciplinary response to elder abuse, many articles feature the role of APS in collaboration with professionals and advocates from other sectors. Of note, this is a selected annotated bibliography, which does not include all published references related to this topic.
