Summary
Administrative records of intake assessments of 31,707 Veterans seen in Veteran's Affair's (VA) postraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) programs were examined to discern patterns of incarceration over time (from 1993-2011). Rates of incarceration declined over time. Black Veterans were more likely than White Veterans to have a lifetime history of incarceration.
