VICTIMIZATION OF ELDERLY PERSONS
VICTIMIZATION OF ELDERLY PERSONS

Summary/Abstract: The process of aging begins from the moment of one’s birth. Although the aging process is inevitable, elderly people are marginalized in our society. Generally speaking, they are perceived as a burden, as dependants who are a kind of ballast for younger generations. Yet, younger generations and policy makers seem to neglect the fact that providing for a better social care and status of elderly persons in the community is an investment in their own future which will ultimately contribute to creating better conditions in their own old age. The book “Victimization of elderly persons", authored by Prof. dr Miomira Kostić, was published over 6 years ago but the topical and ongoing issues pertaining to the victimization of elderly people in Serbia impose the need to keep this problem in the spotlight of the contemporary acdemic, professional and general public.
