The average percentage of military veterans in prison within the UK is over 6%.
This yet another example of how the USA is increasingly addressing the needs of their veteran offender community - http://yourhub.denverpost.com/adams-county-court-for-veterans-is-commissioned-to-serve/.
Will the UK authorities have the courage to pilot similar courts here in the UK?
Reducing re-offending and social exclusion through innovative training; promoting increased understanding, personal change and skill sets necessary when working with marginalised groups, challenging behaviour and poor motivation. Promoting public debate surrounding the reduction of crime and re-offending, particularly former military veteran offenders. Engaging society and encouraging greater understanding and responsibility.
