CRMN 3029U – Crime and the Elderly


The course will cover a range of issues related to crime and the elderly, from the perspective of the elderly as both offenders and victims of crime, in addition to institutionalized structures enabling the systematic abuse of older adults. These issues will be situated within a social determinants of vulnerability framework that examines how interrelating concepts including but not limited to ageism, ableism, and sexism impact one’s risk and exposure to abuse and crime. Topics to be covered include but are not limited to cybercrime of the elderly, crime and abuse by family and caregivers, crime and abuse in institutional settings (e.g., nursing homes) and the graying of prisons and unique experiences of elderly prisoners.
