Abstract

This brief report estimates the lifetime prevalence of incarceration among U.S. military veterans using data from three nationally representative U.S. samples: the National Health and Resilience in Veterans Study (NHRVS; n = 4069), the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III (NESARC-III; n = 3119 veterans, and the National Veteran Homeless and Other Poverty Experiences (NV-HOPE; n = 1004). Across the three surveys, 3.5–10.6% (weighted mean = 9.8%) of U.S. veterans reported they had been incarcerated some time in their lives for an average of 16.7 to 45.6 months (weighted mean = 42.4). Among black veterans, the lifetime prevalence of incarceration ranged from 2.9 to 10.6% (weighted mean = 13.4%) and among white veterans, the lifetime prevalence of incarceration ranged from 3.5 to 14.6% (weighted mean = 9.7%). These contemporary estimates of incarceration among U.S. veterans highlight racial disparities and the extent of incarceration in this population, which may influence access to employment, housing, and healthcare.

估算美国退伍军人终身监禁率

这份简短的报告使用三个具有全国代表性的美国样本的数据估计了美国退伍军人终身监禁的流行程度:退伍军人国家健康和恢复力研究(NHRVS);n = 4069)、全国酒精及相关疾病流行病学调查iii (NESARC-III);n = 3119名退伍军人，以及全国退伍军人无家可归和其他贫困经历(NV-HOPE;n = 1004)。在这三项调查中，3.5% - 10.6%(加权平均= 9.8%)的美国退伍军人报告说，他们在一生中被监禁过一段时间，平均为16.7至45.6个月(加权平均= 42.4)。黑人退伍军人终身监禁率为2.9 ~ 10.6%(加权平均为13.4%)，白人退伍军人终身监禁率为3.5 ~ 14.6%(加权平均为9.7%)。这些对美国退伍军人监禁的当代估计突出了种族差异和这一人口中的监禁程度，这可能影响就业、住房和医疗保健的获得。

期刊介绍： Now accepted in JSTOR! Population Research and Policy Review has a twofold goal: it provides a convenient source for government officials and scholars in which they can learn about the policy implications of recent research relevant to the causes and consequences of changing population size and composition; and it provides a broad, interdisciplinary coverage of population research. Population Research and Policy Review seeks to publish quality material of interest to professionals working in the fields of population, and those fields which intersect and overlap with population studies. The publication includes demographic, economic, social, political and health research papers and related contributions which are based on either the direct scientific evaluation of particular policies or programs, or general contributions intended to advance knowledge that informs policy and program development.
