CARP would also like to see:
* The Criminal Code to be modified to include “duty to report” provisions modeled on requirements to report suspected cases of child or spousal abuse.
* A provision in the Criminal Code for crimes against the elderly that provide increased penalties, similar to tougher penalties that can be imposed for hate crimes.
* A new criminal office of Elder Abuse Victim.
* Support services and elder shelters.
