The hazing reader

About this book

"Despite numerous highly publicized incidents and widespread calls for reform, hazing continues to plague many of the nation's colleges and universities. In this volume, noted expert Hank Nuwer presents 15 classic or never-before-published articles to help all of us, parents and professionals alike, better understand the culture of hazing. The collection, which includes contributions from Stephen Sweet, Michael V.W. Gordon, Walter M. Kimbrough, Lionel Tiger, and others, looks at hazing behavior in fraternal organizations (including sororities and traditionally black fraternities), high schools, the military, and sports. There are also chapters on hazing and the law, hazing injuries, and hazing and gender. Lastly, the book lays out steps for transforming the culture of hazing. Book jacket."--Jacket.
