(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.
