Violence, Vulnerability and the Legacies of War

Recent insightful and empathetic criminological work has explored the criminality of military veterans, but the lived experience of criminality, vulnerability and violence of veterans is yet to be examined in a rigorous and sustained way.

This book offers an original investigation into the status of convicted military veterans in the United Kingdom post 9/11. It provide a comprehensive criminological analysis about the tensions and conflicts that veterans experience as they move from a war paradigm to one of criminal justice on domestic soil, gives voice to the veterans by drawing upon a wealth of original testimonies and data and connects new voices about the position of the veteran in society to literatures of war and governance in the 21st century.
