Most available data about perpetrators of elder abuse are included as part of the description of abuse experienced by older adults. Embedded within this literature is some evidence that perpetrators of elder abuse are involved in polyvictimization. Drawing upon prior empirical research of apparent cases of polyvictimization, this article focuses on what is known about the personal characteristics of perpetrators of polyvictimization, highlights the context of the relationship between perpetrators of polyvictimization and their older adult victims, addresses the potential consequences for perpetrators of polyvictimization, and provides recommendations for future research and practice. Findings elucidate characteristics of and potential outcomes for perpetrators of late life polyvictimization.
大多数关于虐待老年人行为人的可用数据都包含在老年人所经历的虐待描述的一部分中。在这些文献中，有一些证据表明，虐待老年人的行为人与多受害者化有关。本文借鉴先前对明显多受害者化案例的实证研究，重点介绍了多受害者化行为人的个人特征，突出了多受害者化行为人与老年受害者之间关系的背景，探讨了多受害者化行为人的潜在后果，并为未来的研究和实践提供了建议。研究结果阐明了晚年多受害者化行为人的特征和潜在结果。
