The draft lottery for the Vietnam War provides a natural experiment to examine the effects of military service on crime. From the California Monthly Arrest and Citation Records (1979-2006), I investigate the effect that the draft lottery had on crime. Using dates of birth for those who were arrested, I look at the reduced form and find that draft eligibility has no significant impact on overall arrests. Additionally, I use California (1970-2002) and Texas (1979-2004) Mortality Records to investigate the mortality rates among the 1950-1952 birth cohorts and the effect that the draft lottery had on mortality risk. As with the arrest analysis, draft eligibility shows no significant impact on overall mortality risk. To empirically test if combat exposure impacts arrest or mortality risk, I use the Vietnam Casualty Data and investigate the effect that the draft lottery had on hostile casualties sustained in the Vietnam War. This estimate is then used as a proxy for combat stress exposure and compared to the first stage relationship between draft eligibility and military service. This difference in magnitude is then compared to the risk estimates of arrest and mortality. Results show that though draft eligibility doubles veteran status, it only increases combat stress exposure by 24 percent. This "lower than expected" risk could suggest that draftees were successfully minimizing combat stress exposure, thereby potentially explaining the negligible effect found in the arrest and mortality risk analysis.
