Criminals Work from Home during Pandemics Too: a Public Health Approach to Respond to Fraud and Crimes against those 50 and above
American Journal of Criminal Justice, 2020Co-Authors: Brian K. PayneAbstract:This paper uses the public health framework to address the apparent impact of the coronavirus on the victimization experiences with a specific focus given to those over the age of 50. The bulk of attention is given to fraud victimization, with consideration also given to parent Abuse, partner violence, and Patient Abuse. A review of data from the Federal Trade Commission shows that reports of most types of fraud grew significantly in the first three months of 2020 in comparison to the same time period in 2019. Differences between fraud experiences based on age are considered. Older persons lost much more to fraud than younger persons, and far more in 2020 than 2019. In addition, they reported being targeted more often for certain types of cybercrime (i.e., tech support scams). While devastating to everyone, it is concluded that the coronavirus will potentially have a more significant impact on the financial health of older persons than younger persons. It is concluded that minimizing the consequences of all forms of crimes targeting older adults will be best achieved by using a public health approach.

The Neglect of Elder Neglect as a White-Collar Crime: Distinguishing Patient Neglect from Physical Abuse and the Criminal Justice System’s Response
Justice Quarterly, 2012Co-Authors: Brian K. Payne, Anita N. Blowers, Daniel B. JarvisAbstract:While research on elder maltreatment has increased dramatically over the past three decades, few studies have considered elder neglect. Even fewer studies have addressed cases of Patient neglect committed while older adults are receiving long-term care. In this study, we analyzed 252 cases of elder maltreatment to increase understanding about elder Patient neglect and the way that Patient neglect can be distinguished from Patient Abuse. The criminal justice system’s response to these crimes is also addressed. The results show that offenders in elder Patient Abuse and Patient neglect cases receive similar sentences. However, the dynamics surrounding the offenses are different in important ways. Patient neglect cases are more likely than Patient Abuse cases to (1) involve multiple victims, (2) be committed in groups, (3) be white-collar crimes rather than occupational crimes, and (4) result in more serious consequences for victims. Implications for policy, theory, and research are provided.

Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect, 1996Co-Authors: Brian K. PayneAbstract:This study examines the characteristics, consequences, and potential causes of Patient Abuse in U.S. nursing homes. Using standard thematic content analysis, 488 incidents of Abuse reported to Medicaid Fraud Control Units throughout the nation were reviewed.

Staff victims of elder Patient Abuse and the Assaulted Staff Action Program (ASAP): preliminary empirical inquiry.
American journal of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, 2003Co-Authors: Raymond B. FlanneryAbstract:Patient assaults on healthcare staff are a serious and ongoing issue in long-term care facilities. Emerging studies have begun to empirically document assaults by elders in skilled nursing facilities as well as the negative impact of these events on healthcare staff victims. This study examined assaults by elders and their impact on staff over a six-year period within the context of the Assaulted Staff Action Program (ASAP), a crisis intervention program for staff victims to address the psychological aftermath of Patient assaults. Findings confirmed both elder assaultive behavior and its negative impacts on staff victims. The efficacy of ASAP in ameliorating these negative impacts was presented. The implications of the findings for long-term care settings were discussed.

Policy statement - Protecting children from sexual Abuse by health care providers
Pediatrics, 2011Co-Authors: Cindy W. Christian, Kenneth W. Feldman, James E. Crawford-jakubiak, Emalee G. Flaherty, Rich Kaplan, James L. Lukefahr, Robert D. Sege, Harriet L. Macmillan, Janet Saul, Tammy Piazza HurleyAbstract:Sexual Abuse or exploitation of children is never acceptable. Such behavior by health care providers is particularly concerning because of the trust that children and their families place on adults in the health care profession. The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly endorses the social and moral prohibition against sexual Abuse or exploitation of children by health care providers. The academy opposes any such sexual Abuse or exploitation by providers, particularly by the academy's members. Health care providers should be trained to recognize and abide by appropriate provider-Patient boundaries. Medical institutions should screen staff members for a history of child Abuse issues, train them to respect and maintain appropriate boundaries, and establish policies and procedures to receive and investigate concerns about Patient Abuse. Each person has a responsibility to ensure the safety of children in health care settings and to scrupulously follow appropriate legal and ethical reporting and investigation procedures.

regulatory change a pathway to eliminating seclusion and restraint or regulatory scotoma
Psychiatric Services, 2008Co-Authors: Janice LebelAbstract:Historical and current experience indicates that regulatory changes in seclusion and restraint practice are often spurred by Patient Abuse but can ultimately enhance protection for consumers, prevent use of seclusion and restraint, and help transform care so it becomes recovery oriented. Reports of deaths related to restraint and seclusion fueled recent national regulatory changes and a federal agenda to eliminate their use. Some states, many facilities, and the federal initiative have focused on seclusion and restraint prevention and alternatives and have made important strides in reducing and eliminating these practices. However, new national regulations lessen previous oversight requirements, heighten risk, and threaten gains in reducing and eliminating such practices. Courageous, knowledgeable leadership is needed to challenge these minimum-practice thresholds and prevent seclusion and restraint “regulatory scotoma.” (Psychiatric Services 59:194–196, 2008)
