This paper deals with legislative response to ill-treatment of the aged and problems of long-term care policy. The act which deals with ill-treatment of the aged in Japan is the "Act on Prevention of Ill-treatment of the Aged and Support to Carers of the Aged". As its name shows, a characteristic of this act is to provide not only response to ill-treatment of the aged but support to carers. There is no precedent of legislation similar to this in other countries. This paper, at first, confirms a definition of ill-treatment of the aged in this act, and then, points out legislative response to ill-treatment of the aged and its problems. Finally, this paper examines the relation between ill-treatment of the aged and long-term care policy in Japan and presents some problems of the policy.
