How to Use Administrative Data to Measure Racial, Ethnic, and Gender Disparities in Military Justice Outcomes
Abstract
The Office of the Executive Director for Force Resiliency within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness asked CNA to address an FY 2020 NDAA mandate to establish criteria for determining when to review data indicating that racial, ethnic, and gender (REG) disparities in military justice outcomes may exist and provide guidance for how conduct that review. This report combines emerging best practices from the civilian criminal justice system with a review of the military justice system (MJS) to create guidance for data collection, analysis, and reporting that will allow the services to use administrative data to conduct meaningful assessments of how members of all REG groups are treated within the MJS. The guidance is summarized in a 6-step iterative process for conducting ongoing assessments on set schedules to detect and address outcome disparities before they become widespread or persistent.
