Are too few racial cases being pursued in the UK armed forces?

This Guardian report by Ben Quinn says:
Just over 17% of racially aggravated crimes investigated by military police over the past five years resulted in guilty verdicts at court martial, it has emerged, as the armed forces faces new pressure over claims it is failing black and Asian service personnel.

Out of 35 investigations launched by military police over the past five years, only six people have been found guilty, data from a Guardian investigation shows. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) admitted the number of cases investigated by military police services for the army, navy and RAF was already low.
