'Scandals' and inquiries into the failure to protect older people from abuse in health and social care systems rarely address, and still less challenge, the social, economic and cultural context to the abuse of older people. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This critical and challenging book makes a strong case for the development of ethically-driven, research-informed policy and practice to safeguard older people from abuse. Drawing on findings of original UK research and framed in an international context, it illustrates ways in which ageism, under-resourced services to older people, target-driven health and social care policy and services, and organisational cultures of blame and scapegoating, are a powerful yet invisible backcloth to elder abuse. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Safeguarding older people from abuse will be essential reading for policy makers, politicians, professionals, campaigners, researchers and educators, and those working in criminal justice fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angie Ash\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1447305671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447305675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Policy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Angie Ash","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088289181951,"sku":"9781447305675","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_778fcbf2-24d4-4a76-b3d0-2a6aa022994d.jpg?v=1769104082","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/safeguarding-older-people-from-abuse-angie-ash-9781447305675","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
