A program evaluation of a Sheriff's Office Juvenile Boot Camp Program
by Connolly, Jerry P., Ph.D., CAPELLA UNIVERSITY, 2009, 185 pages; 3341923

Abstract:

This study replicated and expanded on a previous study by Lynn-Greenling, A Program Evaluation of the Discipline-Respect-Integrity-Learning-Leadership (DRILL) Camp of Collier County (1999), in order to further examine and gauge the effectiveness of the evolving juvenile boot camp programs in reducing recidivism and altering criminal behavior in juveniles. This study features an expanded review and exploration of the overall concept and underlying theories of juvenile boot camps in the United States; and a specific, targeted examination of a juvenile boot camp in Florida. This study examined program compliance, accountability measures and the community reintegration process of a boot camp program implemented by the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice (FDJJ) through a Sheriff’s Office located in central Florida. The researcher guides the reader through a formative program evaluation of the Sheriff’s Office Boot Camp Program through program compliance and performance measures and the use of qualitative interviews and content analysis of administrative data.
