Racial Disparities in Military Incarceration Rates: An Overview and Research Strategy

Abstract

For some now, Department of Defense (DoD) officials, civil rights activists, and researchers have been concerned about the discrepancy in discipline and incarceration rates between black and white men in the Military services. Despite recent declines in overall discipline rates for all races, black service members continue to receive punishment at about twice the rate of their white counterparts (Tong and Jaggers, 1992). Tong and Jaggers (1992) present a chronology that traces some key events and research between 1969 and the present.
