Description
ABSTRACT This article addresses the issue of military discipline within the South African National Defence Force, with specific reference to the military justice and corrective system. The first section focuses on the military justice system and the problems experienced in striking a balance between military discipline and the constitutional imperative of "equality before the law". In the second section, reference is made to a survey conducted by the South African Navy on the extent of disciplinary offences and the type of sentences imposed on offenders since 1994. With this as background, the various strategies deemed effective in reducing deviant behaviour, namely retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation and incarceration are analysed. Where appropriate, the various forms of social control, punishment, and corrective programs are scrutinised with reference to international military examples. In the final section, the shortcomings in the military corrective system are discussed and some suggestions are made as to how the present system could be improved.
