The overall data, based on approximately 10,000 stockade cases and 35,000 control sample cases, show: (1) Very young soldiers, just meeting minimum age standards, were found about two and a half times (2.6) as often in the stockade cases as in the control sample. (2) High school dropouts were found about twice (2.2) as often in the stockade cases as in the control sample. (3) Men in the lowest acceptable mental category were found about one and a half times (1.6) as often in the stockade cases as in the control sample. (4) Negroes were found about twice (2.0) as often in the stockade cases as in the control sample. (5) Regular Army volunteers were found about one and a half times (1.4) as often in the stockade cases as in the control sample.
