As of October 2008, the estimated United States veteran population was 23,442,000. Since October 2001, approximately 1.64 million U. S. troops have been deployed for Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom . . . in Afghanistan and Iraq." Military service can impact the lives of veterans and their families in countless ways. Many returning veterans and their families cope with serious issues such as: alcohol and substance abuse, mental illness, homelessness, unemployment, and strained relationships. Often times, these serious issues go unaddressed, and many of the veterans end up in our criminal justice system. With the increase of veterans with serious needs in our criminal justice system, comes the need for the system to develop innovative ways of working to address these issues and needs. One court in Buffalo, New York, has developed a plan for meeting the serious needs of veterans within the criminal justice system and created the nations first specialized Veterans Treatment Court.
