在美国监狱监禁的男性中，更多的退伍军人（35%）比非退伍军人（23%）有性犯罪定罪。有限的研究调查了解释兵役和性犯罪之间联系的因素。来自监狱监禁男性（n = 14，080）的全国代表性数据用于检查退伍军人身份和性犯罪之间的关联，调整人口统计学，儿童和临床特征。退伍军人比非退伍军人性犯罪的几率高1.35（95%置信区间= [1.12，1.62]，p < .01）。在退伍军人中，那些无家可归或在被捕时服用精神健康药物的人的几率较低，而有性创伤史的退伍军人与其他犯罪类型相比，性犯罪的几率较高。在惩教和医疗机构提供心理健康服务以解决创伤经历并提供长期住房选择可以帮助有性犯罪的退伍军人从监狱过渡到社区。
Among prison-incarcerated men in the United States, more veterans (35%) have a sexual offense conviction than nonveterans (23%). Limited research has investigated factors explaining the link between military service and sexual offending. Nationally representative data from prison-incarcerated men (n = 14,080) were used to examine the association between veteran status and sexual offenses, adjusting for demographic, childhood, and clinical characteristics. Veterans had 1.35 higher odds (95% confidence interval = [1.12, 1.62], p < .01) of a sexual offense than nonveterans. Among veterans, those who were homeless or taking mental health medications at arrest had lower odds and veterans with a sexual trauma history had higher odds of a sexual offense compared with other offense types. Offering mental health services in correctional and health care settings to address trauma experiences and providing long-term housing options can help veterans with sexual offenses as they transition from prison to their communities.
