TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - The Role of Emotional Vulnerability and Abuse in the Financial Exploitation of Older People From Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CaLD) Communities in Australia JO - Journal of elder abuse and neglect A1 - Zannettino, Lana A1 - Bagshaw, Dale A1 - Wendt, Sarah A1 - Adams, Valerie SP - 74 EP - 89 VL - 27 IS - 1 N2 - While the literature acknowledges that older people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) communities are particularly susceptible to financial abuse by their family members, there is a dearth of research that explores the nature of CaLD older people's vulnerability to this form of abuse. This case study examines unique dynamics shaping this form of abuse and demonstrates how emotional vulnerability and dependence, exacerbated by cultural and linguistic disconnection, can place older people at risk.
