In each state, offenders who participated in boot\r\n camps were compared with demographically similar offenders who were\r\n sentenced to prison, probation, or parole. The impact of shock\r\n incarceration on offenders was assessed in two major areas: (1)\r\n changes in offenders' attitudes, expectations, and outlook during\r\n incarceration (self-report/attitude data), and (2) performance during\r\n and adjustment to community supervision after incarceration (community\r\n supervision data). The self-report/attitude data include variables\r\n measuring criminal history, drinking and drug abuse, and attitudes\r\n toward the shock incarceration program, as well as demographic\r\n variables, such as age, race, employment, income, education, and\r\n military experience. The community supervision data contain\r\n information on offenders' behaviors during community supervision, such\r\n as arrests, absconding incidents, jail time, drug use, education and\r\n employment experiences, financial and residential stability, and\r\n contacts with community supervision officers, along with\r\n demographic variables, such as age and race. In addition to these key\r\n areas, more detailed data were collected in Louisiana, including a\r\n psychological assessment, a risk and needs assessment, and a community\r\n supervision follow-up at two different time periods (Parts 11-18). For\r\n most states, the subjects sampled in the self-report/attitude survey\r\n were different from those who were surveyed in the community\r\n supervision phase of data collection. Data collection practices and\r\n sample structures differed by state, and therefore the data files are\r\n organized to explore the impact of shock incarceration at the state\r\nlevel. For each state, the unit of analysis is the offender.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR06986.v1", "title": "Multisite Evaluation of Shock Incarceration:  [Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas], 1987-1992"}], "identifier": "3373", "issued": "1998-07-28T00:00:00", "keyword": ["alcohol abuse", "criminal histories", "drug abuse", "offenders", "parole", "prison inmates", "probation", "program evaluation", "shock incarceration programs"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2006-03-30T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Multisite Evaluation of Shock Incarceration:  [Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas], 1987-1992"}
