Principles of Elder Justice (2021)
|
In the nearly 13 years since CEJC leaders first came together to explore barriers to elder abuse prevention, they have solicited the insights and ideas of stakeholders and opinion leaders from multiple disciplines across the state, resulting in a broader focus on elder justice. Although elder abuse prevention remains core, CEJC and its partners recognize that abuse does not occur in a vacuum and cannot be prevented without a firm foundation of support services, legal options, fair distribution of resources, attention to the rights of people with cognitive impairments, and accountability. This broader vision is reflected in these principles. CEJC's Principles were most recently updated in 2021 to underscore our longstanding commitment to equity and justice as we reimagine public safety to reflect the lived experiences of all older Californians and to hold institutions accountable.
