Males are more likely than females to be discharged as a result of their own actions. To assess boot camp outcomes, boot camp completions or terminations were compared to the group made up of those who applied for admission but were not accepted into the boot camp program. Boot camp successful completers are less likely to have a KDOC admission than non-participants. Overall, boot camp participants were in the community longer than those who did not participate in boot camp. Subsequent Prison Admissions Comparisons between boot camp terminations who did not have a KDOC admission subsequent to boot camp discharge and those who did have a KDOC admission yielded some notable variations in demographic information.
Age is calculated at boot camp application date.
Note, however, that this data item is frequently unavailable. Driving this limitation is the availability of information from the boot camp. Boot camp staff track participation and demographic information. An example of such data might be an addiction measurement instrument which could be administered before substance abuse education and again after substance abuse education to determine if that program component is effective in reducing substance abuse related behaviors. While this program has four identified components, the relationship between those components and criminal behavior requires clear identification and appropriate measurement at the boot camp.
