Factors related to the incidence of disciplinary actions among enlisted personnel

The purpose of the study was to examine the disciplinary rates of various subgroups of the enlisted population and the attitudes of officers and enlisted personnel towards the military justice system. A fairly clear picture emerged of the serviceman who is prone to encounter disciplinary problems. Such an individual is likely to be young, in his first term, low ranking, single, relatively uneducated, and serving in a relatively low skilled military occupation. The tiered severity of the military justice system appeared to be working satisfactorily. In general, a great deal of unfamiliarity with the military justice system was found among both officers and enlisted personnel. Officers were found to judge disciplinary actions as reasonable and fair while enlisted personnel were more likely to see them as being too strict.
