Practical Investigation of Exploitation in Elderly and Vulnerable Populations

Designed for investigators and law enforcement personnel, this crucial guidebook aids those charged with protecting the elderly and other vulnerable victims from financial exploitation. The author covers subject-specific interviewing techniques for elderly, vulnerable, or challenged victims and witnesses and individually explores a range of crimes. On the federal level, the book examines conspiracy, mail fraud, R.I.C.O., counterfeiting, and money laundering. The book also discusses fraud, forgery, embezzlement, and theft on the state level. The author describes how to combine and use these tools and employs a case-study approach to deepen practical understanding.
