Table of ContentsIntroduction Mapping the existing knowledge about sexual violence against older people The extent and nature of serious sexual violence against older people in the UK The impacts, support needs and gaps in service provision for older survivors: views of practitioners Experiences of sexual violence as an older woman: case studies of survivors ConclusionsReviewsThis ground-breaking book explores the under-researched area of sexual violence against older women. Ageism and sexism make older women survivors invisible. In an engaging and accessible manner, Bows discusses inter-disciplinary issues and analyses her interviews with practitioners, and survivor case studies. An international research agenda is identified. Essential reading for academics and practitioners.
