Journalist Roman Bochkala presented the study “Portrait of a Veteran,” focused on the needs of veterans who have entered the probation system.
In Ukraine, researchers examined the needs of veterans who, after returning from the war, ended up in the probation system. The study, “Portrait of a Veteran,” covers health, psychological burnout, expectations from the state, and attitudes toward themselves and the criminal-justice system.
This was reported by journalist Roman Bochkala in a Facebook post.
According to him, the study results were presented during a working meeting of the Council on Veteran Policy at the Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture. The project is implemented by the Advisory and Expert Council under the State Criminal-Executive Service of Ukraine, chaired by Bochkala.
The study was conducted in two waves. The first included 443 veterans from approximately 1100 people who were in the probation system. During the second phase, 805 of about 1300 veterans in this category were surveyed.
According to Bochkala, the aim of the work is to determine veterans’ needs and understand what support they require after returning to civilian life. This data is intended to help develop effective rehabilitation programs.
In addition, the team participated in researching the attitudes of representatives of the criminal-justice system toward veterans. In particular, this includes prosecutors, judges, the State Criminal-Executive Service, probation authorities, and the police.
Bochkala stressed that the study results should become the basis for concrete decisions, including a comprehensive state program to support veterans who find themselves within the justice system.
