Fact: Veterans are more likely to experience medical and mental health issues (such as PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injuries, Depression and Anxiety) and are less likely to be diagnosed. Though sentencing is always at the discretion of the judge, clients with military service often have tailored options available to them. Veterans returning from combat may suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or may have difficulty reintegrating into society.
Due to alienation and lack of support, some Veterans fall into drug and alcohol abuse or develop mental health issues. An arrest is always a traumatic event, but sometimes it can open a door to the help that a client needs to get life back on track. If you or someone you know has been arrested and needs help with substance abuse or mental health challenges, ask us how we can help.
The Social Services Department of the Office of the Public Defender, Nith Circuit, can determine eligibility to various programs and services and help ensure that the underlying issues are treated.

In recent years, there has been a rise of reported sexual assault cases in the military.
For example, one in four female veterans and one in 100 male veterans reported to a healthcare provider that they had experienced Military Sexual Trauma (MTS).
In addition to facing the challenges that every solider does upon returning from service, veterans who have experienced MTS also have increased risk for substance abuse, depression, panic attacks, sexual dysfunction, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Executing veterans is not a thing of the past.
The first person executed in the year 2015, Andrew Brannan, was a veteran of the Vietnam War.
But if the death penalty is supposed to be the punishment reserved for the worst of the worst, can executing a veteran ever be justified?
Should a veteran's service to this country be taken into account as a deposit of good will?
Do the effects of war on the human brain reduce a veteran's culpability?
Abstract: This article is based on a panel discussion held at the New York City Bar Association in conjunction with the Capital Punishment Committee.

When society enters a period of war, the rules change for those who serve.
When society is at war, rules of behavior that were formerly condemned as criminal and unacceptable are sought after and praised.
But when war ends, returning to everyday civil life is not easy as war time behavior and ethics are difficult to shed for many people, especially those closest to the conflict.
This journal article discusses the broad implications of the effects of war on human conduct and society as a whole.
