Abstract

Many pros and cons arguments can be read about boot camps in terms of efficiency and application. My article reviews tragedies and deaths occurred in juvenile boot camps processing their background and causes. It is not my purpose to present boot camps in a negative light but to reveal circumstances of tragedies and on the basis of this to prevent their re-occurrence.

Highlights

  • Among them Gina Scoret[6] who collapsed during a 2.6-mile jogging and died, suffering from heat exhaustion

  • The strong military drill employed in boot camps entails negative impacts from several points of view

  • On the other hand, enforcing participants to carry out heavy physical exercises may endanger their physical integrity and may even lead to death
