We would like to thank the two graduate students, Mark Motivans and Young Kim, who assisted us on this project, as well as the faculty with the Center for Research on Crime and Justice at Penn State University, who provided statistical advice for the Boot Camp Recidivism Study.
We would also like to thank the staffs of the Pennsylvania
Department of Corrections, the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole, and
the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency for providing us with the
necessary data for this project and for their suggestions and continued support.
