The camp also includes traditional boot camp aspects like exercise, drills, etc. Billy Badger was given the job of determining the effectiveness of the boot camp. The next time the boot camp is conducted, he will compare a random sample of offenders placed in traditional programs (e.g., probation, incarceration, drug treatment, day treatment, house arrest, etc.) to a random sample of offenders placed in the boot camp. He is planning on comparing the groups on recidivism rates for the next two years.
