这篇文章认为，在美国的越南退伍军人之间的犯罪活动和监禁的发生率。结果来自已发表和未发表的研究。大多数研究表明，越战老兵的被捕率并没有明显高于非老兵，但越战老兵的被捕率确实更高。这些逮捕主要针对非暴力犯罪。现有的证据没有表明创伤后应激障碍和其他延迟性压力状况在被监禁的越南退伍军人群体中有多常见，也没有表明这些状况与犯罪活动之间的关系。我们需要更多和更好的关于被监禁者以及缓刑和假释者的描述性数据，以便能够提供适当的法律的和干预性服务。
This article considers the incidence of criminal activities and incarceration among Vietnam veterans in the United States. Results are presented from published and unpublished studies. Most studies indicate that Vietnam-era veterans do not have significantly higher arrest rates than nonveterans but that Vietnam theater veterans do have higher rates. These arrests are primarily for nonviolent offenses. Available evidence gives no indication how common Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other delayed-stress conditions are among the incarcerated Vietnam veteran populations, or of the relationship between such conditions and criminal activities. We need more and better descriptive data on those incarcerated, as well as those on probation and parole, so that appropriate legal and interventive services can be offered.
