question 5

Multiple Choice

Even though it is a commonly accepted hypothesis, the "violent veteran" explanation for post-war homicide rate increases is not supported by Archer and Gartner's analysis of the evidence. They based their dismissal of this "myth" on:

• A) their extensive interviews with veterans of three different wars.
• B) the fact that homicide rate increases during the wars were as high as after wars, so that veterans could not have been responsible for the wartime homicides.
• C) the fact that post-war increases in violence and homicide occurred among demographic groups who did not serve in combat.
• D) the fact that research has shown that military training "wears off " very quickly after combat duty ceases.
