Female (68% vs. 82-88%) and male (57% vs. 82-87%) senior officers were the least
likely to report the offenders were military members (see Table 2). The complementary findings

who said the offenders were solely civilians.

The majority of women and men reported some or all of the behaviors occurred at an
installation (Females 86%; Males 75%), at work (Females 81%; Males 74%); during duty hours
(Females 84%; Males 76%) (see Tables 59a.1-59d.4 in Greenlees et al. (2003)). Approximately
