Abstract

The link between military service and crime has been a subject of investigation for several decades. Although research has examined the likelihood of arrest, incarceration, and recidivism across military cohorts, relatively little is known about the circumstances surrounding police contact and suspect behavior at the exact moment of arrest. This is a critical oversight given that what transpires during an arrest can have a marked impact on downstream criminal justice outcomes, including access to diversionary programming like veterans treatment courts. Using a nationally representative survey of prison inmates, this study analyzes veteran and nonveteran self-reports of their arrest controlling for a host of relevant demographic, mental health, and criminal history variables. Findings indicate that veterans are significantly less likely to resist the police at arrest. These results provide further support to the sentiment that military culture and training can have a lasting behavioral influence on those who experience it.
危险的任务:调查被监禁的退伍军人在逮捕时对警察的抵抗
几十年来,服兵役和犯罪之间的联系一直是人们调查的主题。尽管有研究调查了军队中被逮捕、监禁和再犯的可能性,但相对而言,在被逮捕的确切时刻,人们对警方接触的情况和嫌疑人的行为知之甚少。这是一个关键的疏忽,因为在逮捕过程中发生的事情会对下游的刑事司法结果产生显著影响,包括进入退伍军人治疗法庭等转移注意力的项目。本研究利用一项全国代表性的监狱囚犯调查,分析了退伍军人和非退伍军人关于他们被捕的自我报告,控制了大量相关的人口统计、心理健康和犯罪历史变量。调查结果表明,退伍军人在被捕时反抗警察的可能性要小得多。这些结果进一步支持了军事文化和训练可以对经历过它的人产生持久的行为影响的观点。
