Institutional abuse is the maltreatment of a person, often a child or an older adult, by a system of power such as an institution meant to care for them. It ranges from acts resembling home-based abuse, including neglect and physical or sexual abuse, to the effects of care or assistance programs that operate below acceptable service standards or rely on harsh or unfair methods to control behavior.

Entity-backed identity for the offense-grade enum value this offense already carries, resolved to a crime concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The offense-grade fact itself stays on the offense unchanged.
