Malgré le fait qu'on retrouve souvent le terme «abus» suivi d'un adjectif, cette construction est anglaise. Il serait plus naturel, en français, de parler de l'«abus des fonds d'une tierce personne» ou de l'«abus des économies d'une tierce personne». 9, record 1, French, - exploitation%20financi%C3%A8re

«Économique» signifie «qui est relatif à l'économie» ou «qui permet de réduire les dépenses». Comme «economic» en anglais, il n'est pas approprié dans le contexte de la violence familiale. 10, record 1, French, - exploitation%20financi%C3%A8re
