Abstract
This document was prepared by Leslie MacRae, B.A. and Monica Pauls, M.A., of the Canadian Research Institute for Law and the Family (CRILF). CRILF is a non-profit, independent institute undertaking and promoting multidisciplinary research, education and publication on law and the family. The service directory was developed as part of the project, “Victim Focused Services for the Elderly: Access and Effectiveness in Alberta.” This one-year study reviewed the legislation, reporting practices, and services in Alberta that address the issue of elder abuse, in order to identify gaps in legislation and service and to increase understanding of the experiences of the victims who access these services. The project was funded by Justice Canada's Family Violence Initiative, the Alberta Solicitor General's Victims of Crime Fund, and the Alberta Law Foundation.
