| Annotation | Most people engage in some behaviour or activity that could, in a broad sense, constitute self-neglect: ingesting toxic substances (alcohol, smoking) is an example. For most people, such activities might not be a cause of concern for the authorities, social services or the courts, but for older people there is a threshold at which self-neglect can become a problem. This edition of the Journal of Elder Abuse and Neglect examines self-neglect as life-threatening behaviour, the ethics of self-neglect, alcohol abuse, and the impact of self-neglect by older people on the community.
