Dr. Shoba Sreenivasan - Justice-Involved Veterans

In this episode, Dr. Shoba Sreenivasan explores the complex intersection of military service, trauma, sexual offending, and forensic risk assessment. She discusses why veterans appear disproportionately represented among people incarcerated for sexual offenses, what is known and unknown about repeat offending, and how SVP recidivism research complicates assumptions about risk. The conversation also examines VA services, housing barriers, trauma-informed care, and cultural issues in forensic assessment.
