Most studies of
domestic abuse of older women have focused on issues of neglect. One of the
limitations for researchers in this area is that there is little understanding
of how older women define domestic violence, and what sort of solutions to the
problem they would find acceptable and utilize. This study seeks in-depth
knowledge of these issues, and will provide insights that can be
used in subsequent research.Our Team has conducted two studies to date on this topic:
