John Robert WilliamsProfessor, Department of Law and CriminologyAberystwyth University - United Kingdom Title: Minding the Gap: the Digital Divide and Older People
Author: Williams John Robert SHORT CVProfessor of Law, LLB Wales, LLB Cantab, Barrister-at-Law Teaching Areas include: Medicine Ethics and Law, Welfare Law, Family and Child Law, Psychology & Crime, Applied Research Skills in Law and Social Sciences. My research interests concentrate on the impact of the law on older people. People are living longer and in some cases enjoying a better quality of life for longer. However, the fact that we are living longer is very often portrayed as 'a problem' and we constantly hear reference to the 'demographic time bomb'. This is regrettable as we should be celebrating the fact that we live longer. Ageism is a deeply regrettable feature of modern living. As with any other form of discrimination, it is demeaning and abusive. Ageism is prevalent in the public and private sectors; older people are discriminated against in the provision of services. People who are not 'old' (whatever that may mean) fear the ageing process and see older people as an image of what they may be like in years to come, without recognizing the pleasure of living longer and the important contribution that older people make to the economic, social and cultural life of society. A particularly disturbing example of ageism is the fact that significant numbers of older people are subjected to some form of abuse. A recent study funded by Comic Relief found that prevalence of elder abuse in Wales is 6%, Scotland 4.3%, and Northern Ireland 3%. These figures underestimate the true level abuse as they do not include older people in institutional settings or those with dementia. A key part of my research is the argument that we should introduce a public law designed specifically to enable intervention in the cases of serious abuse. Such a law is fraught with difficulties, but these can be overcome as illustrated by the Scottish and American experiences. Recently I have been working on the rights of older prisoners. Although relatively small in number, the over sixties are the fasting growing sector of the prison population. To what extent does the prison system recognize the rights of older people to health care and social care? Are prisons and prison regimes aware of special needs that some older prisoners may have? To what extent are the human rights of older prisoners being violated by the belief that there is some kind of iron curtain between human rights and the prison system? An area of recent interest is the link between the design of care homes and human rights. This is based on a joint paper delivered at the British Psychological Society in 2010. To what extent does the design of care home violate rights to liberty, dignity and family life. Although a legal approach to these and other issues relating to older people is not the solution, law does have a role to play in improving the lives of older people and eradicating ageism and promoting social exclusion. My research explores some of the areas where law can work for the rights of older people. Yadin Aharon [The Max Stern Academic College of Emek Yezreel - Israel]
