City of Dundee INTRODUCTION It is unlikely that Judge Vance intended to be prophetic about the Navy when he spoke these words in 1982. Unfortunately, at the Tailhook sympo- sium in October 1991, Navy women were forced to run just such a gauntlet. Navy and Marine Corps aviators used what they called a gauntlet to systematically sexually assault at least 26 women, over half of whom were female Navy officers.

Chain of Command: The Barriers of Reporting Sexual Assault in the Military Danielle Christenson Submitted in Partial Completion of the Requirements for Departmental Honors in Criminal Justice Bridgewater State University May 13, 2014 Dr. Khadija Monk, Thesis Director Dr. Carolyn Petrosino, Committee Member Dr. Robert Grantham, Committee Member Abstract Reported rates of sexual assault in the military have increased dramatically over the past 10 years (Groves, 2013). One reason for the pervasiveness of sexual assault is the reporting structure. Despite changes in the way sexual assault complaints are handled, there continue to be numerous sexual assault scandals (Childress, 2013). The purpose of this study is to examine how the military’s chain of command influences the reporting procedures, and how this may influence the military’s ability to prevent sexual assaults. This thesis examines three case studies specifically focusing on military sexual assault reporting. Keywords: military sexual assault, military chain of command, Tailhook Scandal, Aberdeen, U.S.
