Boot Camps: A Critique and a Proposed Alternative.
Salerno, Anthony W.
Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, v20 n3-4 p147-58 1994
Explores origins of boot camp concept and application of its principles to juvenile delinquents. Offers eight-point critique of concept itself. Concludes with alternative: combination of intermittent incarceration (lasting at least six months and comprised of "no frills" camp for one week, followed by weekends gradually spaced further apart as time progresses) supplemented by intensive probation supervision.
