The statistics of elder abuse in Trumbull County, Ohio were collected under Adult Protective Law. Data were gathered from the 1998 Adult Protective Services yearly summary of cases reported in Trumbull County. The instrument of data collection was the combination of the four quarterly reports done by the three Adult Protective Service workers for the years 1993 to 1998. The quarterly reports list number of reports received, investigations conducted, evaluations made, court petitions filed, total caseload, age of subject, subjects' living arrangements, type of abuse experienced, perpetrators' age and relationship to victim. Resulting data was summarized, then categorized by type of abuse and by whom. Also, statewide statistics were collected, along with population growths and projections. These findings were compared to statewide statistics, future trends, and case studies. Information pertaining to APS law, definitions of abuse, philosophy, intents, and the impetus of the APS law, operational decisions by the APS worker, literature review on elder abuse, signs and triggers of abuse, breakdowns of state statistics, case studies, future predictions, and future trends are presented.
