Abstract: | Using official data, 331 boot camp participants and a stratified random sample of 369 regular probationers were tracked for
rearrests over a threeyear period. Chisquare tests and logistic regression analysis indicate that participation in boot camp
was significantly associated with rearrest for drug offenses, offenses categorized as “other,” and all types of offenses combined.
Contrary to most prior research, which suggests that boot camp participation has no effect on subsequent criminal behavior,
the results in this study indicate that participation in the boot camp program had a detrimental effect on its participants. |
