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

The focus of the ACAMS Today Ninth Law Enforcement Edition is devoted to Elder Abuse and was published to highlight World Elder Abuse Awareness Day this past June 15, 2019. With that goal in mind a number of ideas were proposed, and ultimately this design was chosen to emphasize the important contributions that seniors have given to our society. The image shows an elderly woman holding a photo of her younger self, reminiscing on what once was. This reflects the need to focus on the crime of Elder Abuse as society has a tendency to lose sight of and give importance to the deeds of the elderly. Elder Abuse is preying on those in society who deserve our support and admiration.
