ABSTRACT
The relationship of ageing and the study of veterans of military service who have offended is uncharted territory in critical social work. What is available to us are accounts operating in disparate areas of ageing and offending and veterans and offending. This has rich implications for ‘critical social work’ to add weight of research and theory to the significance of ageing identities of veterans for professional social work. This has challenges for the knowledge base for a critical social work given the significance of veterans’ identities and experiences in post-9/11 societies.
