Military Justice Reform Efforts
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has tirelessly campaigned for reform in how the military prosecutes serious crimes, particularly sexual assaults. Historically, cases were handled internally, often resulting in inadequate justice compared to civilian standards. Despite facing consistent opposition, Gillibrand's efforts culminated in the passing of legislation that removes significant crimes from the chain of command's control, empowering military prosecutors instead. Initial data suggests a decline in sexual assaults, indicating a potential positive effect of the newly implemented reforms.
