| 110-hconres-397 | 110 | hconres | 397 | Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding sexual assaults and rape in the military. | Armed Forces and National Security | 2008-07-29 | 2008-09-04 | Referred to the Subcommittee on Military Personnel. | House | Rep. Harman, Jane [D-CA-36] | CA | D | H000213 | 38 | Calls for the Secretary of Defense to develop a comprehensive strategy to increase and encourage investigation and prosecution of sexual assault and rape cases in the military. Sets forth elements to be included in such strategy, including: (1) requiring commanders to be held accountable for sexual assaults and rapes in their units and for disposition of such cases; (2) developing prevention and response programs to create a culture that prevents sexual assault and rape in the military and encourages more reporting by victims; (3) reviewing the capacity of the legal infrastructure in the military to investigate and prosecute effectively sexual assault cases; (4) examining any barriers on military facilities to conducting effective investigations of sexual assault and rape cases; and (5) ensuring that the command affords an alleged sexual assault victim an opportunity for a base transfer should a military protection order be issued. | 2021-09-29T14:18:15Z |
