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.
