Dear Dr. Crime: Do we have anything here in our state to help veterans who get in legal trouble?<br />

How much of a military presence do we have in North Carolina?<br />

Proud American<br />

Dear Proud American: I join you in your concern for our veterans. It seems from what we<br />

hear on the news that the government has not followed through on their commitment. Here<br />

in NC we have the 3rd largest active duty military presence in the US so our concern is valid.<br />

Our NC Division of Veterans Affairs, with the support of Governor McCrory, is doing a lot,<br />

so see their document NC4VETS RESOURCE GUIDE (www.nc4vets.com/guide or call<br />

844.624.8387) for an outline of resources. And they do have a Veterans Justice Outreach<br />

program and other resources to help with criminal justice issues. Thanks for your concern.<br />

Dear Dr. Crime: When young girls are sexually abused does it contribute to their later criminal<br />

justice problems? Very Angry Dad<br />

Dear Dad. The short answer is Heck Yes!! And it get complicated, for research supported by<br />

the Annie E. Casey Foundation and others shows clearly that sexual abuse is a direct cause of<br />

delinquency and incarceration. When other variables are taken into account, it is shown that<br />

this effect is particularly strong in the case of minority girls. About half of minority kids are<br />

girls, but those minority girls account for 2/3 of those incarcerated. The recent Georgetown<br />

Law School study of this recommended several good policy ideas, including the need for more<br />

training of our criminal justice personnel to recognized the effects of sex abuse, to strengthen the<br />

Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act and to end the treatment of child sex<br />

trafficking victims as if they were mature prostitutes. As a probation officer, I cried about that<br />

treatment. See the full report at www.law.georgetown.edu/go/poverty .<br />
