Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

The ACAMS Today Ninth Law Enforcement Edition is one of a kind. There is no other publication in the anti-financial crime industry that provides financial crime prevention professionals with content-specific information about the unique collaboration between the public and private sectors. This edition was dedicated to the elders around the world and was published in conjunction with World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, which fell on June 15, 2019. There is a great need for collaboration between compliance professionals and law enforcement to stop the predators preying on the senior population. Statistics for this abuse are on the rise. One in 20 senior adults falls victim to elder abuse. The cover is a soft touch as we wanted to convey a connection between the reader and the elderly woman holding the image of her younger self. Each one of us has a story and at times, we forget the impact seniors have had in society and our lives. The image displays that the elderly woman on the cover once defended her country and fought for freedom.
