TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - At risk for violence in the military JO - Psychiatric clinics of North America A1 - Xenakis, Stephen N. SP - 623 EP - 631 VL - 39 IS - 4 N2 - Understanding the occurrence and nature of violence in the military entails appreciating military culture, the sociology and demographics of its personnel, military training, combat experiences, and injuries and illnesses that veterans suffer. The military is grounded in the principles and practice of conducting violent operations, and the psychology of violence fundamentally anchors its professionalism. The occurrence of unwanted violence and tragic incidence of suicides, homicides, and abuse expose the challenges to containing the behavior outside of the combat and training theaters.
