Peer reviewedUtech, Myron R.; Garrett, Robert R. – Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 1992
Reviews the meaning and uses of elder-abuse and child-abuse concepts and percepts in the reporting of events and research. Reports that the stereotypical nature of the concepts and the labeling of the victims has hampered the reporting of the maltreatment, thus impairing the accuracy of the research. (RJM)
