Hazing & Binge Drinking Prevention Expert & Author

Hank Nuwer is the author of Hazing: Destroying Young Lives, Wrongs of Passage, High School Hazing, and The Hazing Reader. He now is writing a seminal book on hazing in the United States beginning at Harvard and other colleges of the former colonies. His blog, Hazing Prevention, is part of his website, HankNuwer.com and he now keeps a record of hazing deaths at schools since the first death in 1838 that is used by the New York Times, USA Today, CNN and every major news network when citing hazing statistics. His newest book on hazing and binge drinking will be “Hazing in American Culture. This is a far more broad-ranging book than his previous volumes. It includes the troubling problem of sexual hazing in athletics, on-the-job hazing in professions such as police work and nursing, as well as far more historical research on how hazing infiltrated American academia, athletics, fraternities and sororities. He lives near Indianapolis. His most treasured awards include HazingPrevention.org’s Hank Nuwer Anti-Hazing Award, an honorary State University of New York honorary doctorate, and election to Ball State University Journalism Hall of Fame.
