STOP HAZING | THE LEADING RESOUCE FOR HAZING RESEARCH AND PREVENTION

The mission of Stop Hazing is to promote safe school, campus and organizational climates through research, information sharing and the development of data-driven strategies for hazing prevention.

Campus or school hazing climate assessments are available through Stop Hazing. Assessments can include surveys (paper or online administration), interviews, focus groups and site visits with consulting about policy alignment and other prevention-focused initiatives. Other efforts of Stop Hazing include: building a databank related to hazing, sponsoring conferences and think-tanks, disseminating information, and providing training and consultation for education professionals.

While policies and education to inform students about the dangers of hazing have been in place for several decades now, the continued presence of hazing on college campuses and in high schools threatens the health and safety of many students and prompts questions about the viability of current approaches to hazing prevention. In the national study of student hazing we learned that leaders and staff/practitioners in colleges and universities throughout the U.S. are struggling to more effectively intervene and prevent hazing on their campuses. Our research indicates that as many as 1 of every 2 students who are involved in a campus club, organization, or team have experienced hazing. Moreover, these behaviors are often illegal and place students in danger of harm and/or result in emotional and physical harm.
