But these days you also have to pass a fairly rigorous screening before you are accepted in the military.
Which is exactly why comparisons between the full civilian population are less useful than comparisons with a like group (service members and vets prior to our current operations in Afghanistan and Iraq).
Statistics on the veteran status of criminals are not kept by the DoJ or the Pentagon. There is no record of the full data set necessary to make a valid statistical comparison. Apparently many here seem to think that means no comparison should be made (at least not if it points to a potential problem with veterans or veteran’s services).
Article ≠ study. There are far different standards as well there should be.
