Abstract

The study is of a boot camp for non-violent, first-admissions to the Department of Correction in Arkansas, and self-report data indicated that 69 percent of those inmates (N = 600) had 3 or more violent offenses prior to entering boot camp. Discriminant analysis indicated, by order of entry (from highest to lowest discrimination), that carrying a weapon, peer association with persons who engage in violence, more alcohol consumption, attempted suicide, younger age, use of amphetamines, persons of color, feelings of alienation, low self-esteem, and unprotected sex are related to violence. The intervention implications of these findings are discussed. (Abstract Adapted from Source: Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly, 2001. Copyright © 2001 by The Haworth Press)
