Military Sexual Assault Fix is "No Fix At All"

Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Lisa M. Schenck recently wrote a column arguing against proposed reforms to the way sexual assault cases are prosecuted in the military. Currently, senior commanders are responsible for convening courts-martial, but a group of senators seeks to place that power with military prosecutors. Dean Schenck, who served in the Army Judge Advocate General's Corps for more than 25 years, and her fellow author Major General John D. Altenburg (U.S. Army Ret.) point to statistics showing that countries with reduced commander responsibility, such as the United Kingdom and Israel, have fewer sexual assault prosecutions on average than the United States.
