British Army Veterans’ Experiences of the Transition into Civilian Life An Ultra-Realist Perspective
Biography
Emma Armstrong is a Lecturer in Criminology and Criminal Justice at Teesside University. Emma’s main interests include military veterans, victimology, contemporary criminological theory and violence.
Emma Armstrong’s analysis of veterans and their complex transitions between military and neoliberal civilian life draws upon original empirical data and new conceptual frameworks to make a groundbreaking contribution. This book should be the cornerstone of any future research into military veterans.
Professor Anthony Lloyd, Professor of Criminology, Teesside University
In this book, Armstrong focuses upon the experiences of veterans routinely assumed to make ‘unproblematic’ transitions into civilian life. Synthesising detailed qualitative data with advanced criminological theory, Armstrong has produced a beautifully written critical account of the various harms experienced by those who attempt to re-integrate into neoliberalism’s competitive, atomised social world.
Dr Anthony Ellis, Associate Professor in Criminology, University of Lincoln
