Abstract

Veterans treatment court (VTC) is the fastest growing type of treatment court in the United States with over 600 VTCs in operation today. Despite this recent proliferation, minimal scholarship has been conducted investigating how the state-level statutory landscape influences VTCs. The current study begins to address this gap by comprehensively reviewing and analyzing state legislation that governs the enactment, operation, and eligibility requirements of VTCs nationwide. Our initial search reveals that 70% of states currently operating VTCs are statutorily authorized at the state-level, of which nearly two-thirds also enumerates operational and eligibility criteria, such as military status and branch, mental health diagnosis, the "nexus", criminal history, military discharge status, offense severity and type, and more. Our analysis indicates considerable variation and nuance across states but coalesced into several unifying themes. The results provide insights on one of the many important powers involved in shaping the operational and eligibility elements of VTCs-state legislatures-and can serve as a catalyst for future research on the myriad factors involved in determining how we conceptualize VTCs and who is included in them.

退伍军人待遇法院:颁布和资格州法规的全国审查。
退伍军人治疗法庭(VTC)是美国发展最快的治疗法庭类型,目前有超过600个VTC在运作。尽管最近这种现象激增,但很少有学者研究州一级的法定环境如何影响职业培训委员会。目前的研究通过全面审查和分析管理全国职业培训中心的制定、运作和资格要求的州立法,开始解决这一差距。我们的初步调查显示,目前运营VTCs的州中有70%在州一级获得法定授权,其中近三分之二还列举了操作和资格标准,如军事地位和分支,精神健康诊断,“关系”,犯罪历史,军事退役状态,犯罪严重程度和类型等等。我们的分析表明,各州之间存在着相当大的差异和细微差别,但它们融合成几个统一的主题。研究结果提供了对职业培训中心的运作和资格要素形成所涉及的众多重要权力之一——州立法机构——的见解,并可以作为未来研究的催化剂,以确定我们如何概念化职业培训中心以及谁被纳入其中所涉及的无数因素。

期刊介绍: Victims & Offenders is a peer-reviewed journal that provides an interdisciplinary and international forum for the dissemination of new research, policies, and practices related to both victimization and offending throughout the life course. Our aim is to provide an opportunity for researchers -- both in the United States and internationally -- from a wide range of disciplines (criminal justice, psychology, sociology, political science, economics, public health, and social work) to publish articles that examine issues from a variety of perspectives in a unique, interdisciplinary forum. We are interested in both quantitative and qualitative research, systematic, evidence-based reviews, and articles that focus on theory development related to offenders and victims.
