Summary, etc This study was initiated to increase understanding of the causes of elder maltreatment in New Zealand and to provide victim and perpetrator profiles. A small study of caregivers was undertaken and three groups compared: caregivers who physically abuse their elderly, caregivers who neglect their elderly, and caregivers who neither neglect nor physically abuse their elderly. Results showed that differences exist between physical abuse and neglect, lending support to the argument that researchers should cease to analyse maltreatment data as though 'elder abuse' were a single phenomenon. Similar to overseas research, findings also indicated that neglect seemed to be more associated with the stress, social isolation and elder dependency risk factors, and physical abuse with the intra-individual dynamics risk factor. Implications from these findings and future directions for research are given. Because this study analysed the physical abuse and neglect groups separately, the small number of participants in each maltreatment group meant that this research was mainly indicative rather than conclusive. Nevertheless, demographical characteristics of the elders and caregivers seemed to be comparable to profiles generated overseas, allowing comparisons to be made with greater confidence.--AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT
