Synopsis
The character of social institutions is known by the nature of rule breakers discovered, or created, within them. The US Military produces casualties in terms of due to physical risk and offenders (those charged with Deviance/Crime) due to social risk: the likelihood of being identified as a rule violator). This case study shows that while the rates of casualty and offender are somewhat inversely related to each other, the latter are much more solidly influenced by the techniques of social control used by officers on their charges than by the war/peace cycle. Military justice issues have become increasingly salient since 9/11. And indeed, the types and frequency of sanctioning in the military have changed substantially since World War II. This study explores differences in how officers and enlisted men are treated, how the different branches of the military have imposed sanctions, and changes in severity and frequency of sanctions during different periods of different wars.
