Through qualitative interviews with formerly incarcerated veterans, this book focuses on the lived experiences, and behaviors associated with the incarceration, of veterans. Guided by the life-course perspective, the authors have identified novel turning-point behaviors linked with incarceration. They provide an in-depth and nuanced understanding of veteran incarceration, blend veteran-centric behaviors with known incarceration factors (i.e., substance use and mental health disorders), and provide a glimpse into how these behaviors interact with other known factors (i.e., homelessness and unemployment). Understanding veteransâ lived experiences with incarceration can provide policy makers and practitioners with the foundation for disrupting the incarceration cycle and positively impacting mental health and substance use problems, homelessness, and unemployment. The authors discuss social and health policy implications and provide recommendations on future research on veteran populations. This volume is enlightening and inspiring for researchers and scholars in public health, social work, and sociology/criminal justice programs, as well as all policymakers and practitioners concerned with veteransâ adjustment to civilian life.
