Abstract
This chapter illuminates that violence in the military is a prevalent occurrence, often leading to involvement with the criminal justice system or significant psychosocial consequences for this population. In general, military veterans are uniquely represented in the criminal justice system and are typically incarcerated for violent offenses at higher rates when compared to their civilian counterparts. Factors such as aggression, service-related variables, and mental health disorders are investigated as they relate to the risk of violence. In this chapter, these factors will be examined in along with possible direct or indirect relationships with aggressive and violent behaviors perpetrated by military personnel.
