Abstract

Prior studies of incarcerated military veterans center on the notion that they are fundamentally different from non-veterans in terms of criminogenic risk. Some scholars have argued that prior military service is a liability in terms of institutional adjustment and may increase the likelihood of experiencing negative outcomes; others have posited that it might serve as an asset and subsequently work to buffer the pains of imprisonment.
