This brief reviews research on risk and protective factors related to sexual violence in later life.

Sexual violence in later life is a form of elder abuse. This guide thoroughly investigates the complexity of the topic and includes information on signs and symptoms, special issues facing older victims, and primary prevention techniques.

This work comes from dialogue of 49 people on the changing political context for social change work. Four key themes are covered: engagement in advocacy; issue-based struggle or struggle-based issue; who's who in advocacy; and how to assess success.

Sexual violence against people in later life involves a broad range of offenses perpetrated against people age 60 and beyond. This four page document outlines specific information on this topic including how advocates can respond to the special needs of older sexual violence victims.

This one page memorandum offers definitions for different forms of public policy: legislation, regulation, case law, procedural change, funding, and statements of policy. Advocates will find this useful as an educational tool and glossary.
