This article reviews an earlier study written for the Wagner Committee on scandals in residential care. That review was based on a study of ten enquiry reports, only two of which were about homes for older people. Argues that more weight should be given to: residents' abuse of residents and of staff, an improper influence on the life-style of others, and sexual abuse. Explanations proposed are: structural, environmental, and individual and worker style. Abuse is considered in the context of the nature of direct care and the acts of intimate care of others.
