Readings

• Note: The readings page for week 7 in Canvas includes additional information not found here (check it out). 
• Jilenne Gunter. 2023. The scope of elder financial exploitation: What it costs victims. June 15, aarp.org.
• Resources to get you started (in Week 8’s discussion you’ll need to report on three sources you found particularly useful, and coordinate with group members so that there is no overlap):
  • Consumer Finance Protection Bureau: Protecting older adults from fraud and financial exploitation (Look over this page and find resources that you might pursue or find useful)
  • US Department of Justice: Elder Justice Initiative (again, find resources useful to explore/research)
  • FBI information page

You’re looking for resources this week, reporting on them in the discussion thread, and then next week describing what you learned/are learning. You should focus specifically on the topic you’ve chosen, and the group you’re a part of (signup here). Don’t forget that there is a written assignment attached to these two weeks, and it’s due August 21.
