    Este artículo busca responder a la pregunta de si los sistemas legales modernos de países seleccionados permiten una respuesta de justicia penal en caso de negligencia de deberes básicos hacia las personas mayores. Las consecuencias de la negligencia pueden ser de gran alcance para esa categoría de víctimas debido a sus propiedades psicofísicas. Se propusieron soluciones para aumentar la eficacia de la protección de las personas mayores contra la negligencia. Dada la subsidiariedad del derecho penal, estos llamados son de carácter universal y sistémico. No sólo se refieren a las propuestas de cambios en el ámbito jurídico, sino que llaman la atención sobre la necesidad de un debate en toda la sociedad sobre el cuidado de las personas mayores y la satisfacción de sus necesidades.

    This article seeks to answer the question of whether the modern legal systems of selected countries allow a criminal justice response in the case of neglect of basic duties towards older persons. The consequences of neglect may be far reaching for that category of victims because of their psychophysical properties. Solutions have been proposed to increase the effectiveness of protecting older persons from neglect. Given the subsidiarity of criminal law, these calls are of a universal and systemic nature. They refer not only to the proposals for changes in the field of law, but they draw attention to the need for a debate across wider society on caring for the elderly and meeting their needs.
