Racial Disparities in the Department of the Air Force Military Justice System : RAND Corporation , April 10 , 2024
From the summary: “Although the existence of racial disparities within the military justice system has been well documented, the causes of these disparities have not been determined. Identifying the factors that are causing disparities is crucial to developing tailored policy options to reduce these disparities.
This study sought to answer the following questions within the context of the Department of the Air Force’s (DAF’s) military justice system:
• How might disparities within the DAF military justice system arise?
• How much of the racial disparity in Article 15s and court-martial referrals is explained by potential racial differences in offending rates and career fields in which the consequences of offending could be more dire?
• Are there further racial disparities among individuals issued an Article 15 or referred to a court-martial in terms of how their cases are adjudicated?”
