Iraq and Back: Legal Implications for Returning Soldiers - Boston
On March 28, 2008, the New England Journal on Criminal and Civil Confinement will host Iraq and Back: Legal Implications for Returning Soldiers.
The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are considered the most sustained combat operations since the Vietnam War, and there are heightened concerns for long term mental implications and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Because PTSD has consequently been linked to increases in criminal behavior, and at times this criminal behavior is directly connected to the trauma suffered, the legal system is facing new challenges in addressing how to best rehabilitate and sanction criminal offenders.
Paper submissions are still being accepted.
