Veterans Treatment Court
The People of the State of Michigan recognize that military service sometimes traumatizes a service member. Criminal behavior may arise out of that trauma. The People, through their Legislature, enacted Veterans Treatment Court laws to create a diversionary path through Michigan’s criminal justice system. The laws divert an eligible Veteran of the Armed Forces of the United States away from the more punitive consequences imposed in the traditional justice system into a program designed to treat the Veteran’s underlying condition – a condition that manifested itself in crime.
