| Do they reach out? |

In response to this blog posting, how frequently—what is the rate– do elderly people reach out for assistance from these elder abuse services, or do the services come to the elderly people more often? Novak and Campbell (Aging & Society, 2005) state that elderly people are more scared about crime and victimization than younger people, however, I still wonder how frequently victims of elder abuse reach out for help? Like victims of sexual assault (under age 65), the reporting rate is very low, at only 20%.
