Why Comply? Exploring Vulnerability to Scams

November 11, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Presented by Professor Marti DeLiema | Assistant Research Professor at the University of Minnesota’s School of Social Work

Professor DeLiema is an interdisciplinary gerontologist, driven to understanding how our society can cultivate long, healthy, and fulfilling lives for all citizens. She uses both quantitative and qualitative research to study financial victimization using focus groups, in-depth interviews, and survey and panel data. Professor DeLiema will be presenting a summary of her most recent research that includes factors that make individuals susceptible to scans and current trends in fraud targeting older adults.

Part of a series, Financial Exploitation: Diving Deeper to Understand Why and How it Happens

This November, the Minnesota Elder Justice Center will host an online forum series to highlight emerging research into financial exploitation of vulnerable adults. We are excited to host three different researchers whose work is helping shine a light on emerging issues and our understanding of why and how vulnerable adults are financially exploited. We will then host a final session to discuss the practical application of this emerging research to the work of our partner organizations as they protect and serve older and vulnerable adults. Registration is now open for all sessions. (1 Social Work CEU will be available to attendees for each session.)
