Conceptualisation of financial exploitation of older people: a review
The concept of financial exploitation has gained much interest in the field of elder abuse. The purpose of this study is to review the conceptualisation of elder financial exploitation as a first step towards exploring how financial abuse is interpreted differently by different groups. The search strategy includes the use of the SCOPUS database, including PubMed, MEDLINE, and open access for articles published between 1997 and January
2019. This study includes prevalence studies regarding the analysis of perceptions and conceptualisation of financial exploitation. This study excluded studies published in languages other than English with no relevance regarding the focus of the study. Twentysix studies met the inclusion criteria with four categories (older people, professional, public, and family members) and a range of settings across studies. Three overarching themes emerged in this review. The sub-themes include values, expectations, cultural considerations, characteristics of older people, relationship dynamics, situational factors, knowledge, and attitudes. Current evidence supports the on-going discussion on the lack of uniformity in definitions and conceptualisations of the financial exploitation of older people. The lack of consideration from the views of older people and community members may add to the complexity of defining financial exploitation, which can result in problems in detection, disclosure, and underreporting incidences
Document forensic, the fiqh and the Syariah Courts
Technological progress has made falsification of documents increasingly sophisticated and the need for forensic
experts or Ra'yu al-Khabir indispensable in the Syariah Courts. This paper discusses the concept and methods of
forensic document authentication by experts according to the Islamic law (fiqh). This study combined quantitative
and qualitative approaches whereby 181 key informants comprising randomly sampled syariah and civil law
experts and practitioners underwent in-depth interviews . Content analysis of the study revealed that respondent
knowledge of document authentication methods according to the Islamic law was at the intermediate level with the
mean = 3.59 and sd = 0.63 which was not enough to help the Syariah Courts cope with the rapid increase in the
falsification rate of documents. This situation needs urgent redress and calls for the establishment of a
comprehensive forensic model to provide adequate guidelines for judges and practitioners of the Syariah Courts
