The MetLife Study of Elder Financial Abuse: Crimes of Occasion, Desperation, and Predation Against America’s Elders

Crimes of Occasion, Desperation, and Predation Against America’s Elders

The study is a follow-up of MetLife’s 2009 “Broken Trust: Elders, Family, and Finances” and examines the prevalence and impact of elder financial abuse in America today. It demonstrates how these crimes continue to decimate incomes, impact the health and well-being of its victims, and fracture families. Yet it still is underreported, under-recognized, and under-prosecuted.
