Description
Becoming part of a team can sometimes go too far. For decades, young people have endured degrading and dangerous rituals in order to join certain groups, with college administrators often turning a blind eye to the consequences. In "Hazing Destroying Young Lives", Hank Nuwer examines the evolution of this practice from its origins to present day. The book catalogues the numerous impacts of hazing, including sexual exploitation, mental distress, depression, and even suicide. It is a hard-hitting look at how universities, the military, and other social groups can learn from past mistakes and protect their members going forward. By exploring the history and effects of hazing, "Hazing Destroying Young Lives" provides a compelling analysis that sheds light on this often-overlooked issue.
