Hazing is a form of bullying, but it is different in some ways. In bullying, the victim is rejected by or excluded from a group whereas hazing is a ritual imposed on a person who wants to join a group. Hazing activities that result in serious injuries are punishable under the law, and the services of a hazing defence attorney would be needed to pursue the case in court. <br><br>https://allen-lawfirm.com/student-conduct/hazing/

Difference Between Bullying & Hazing And The Role Of Coaches In Preventing It What is Bullying? Bullying is an aggressive behaviour by an individual or a group with the intention of causing harm to a person either physically or psychologically. It is the use of force, coercion, or threat to abuse, dominate or intimidate a person. Bullying may also occur by hitting, teasing and taunting, and name-calling, or in more subtle ways such as spreading rumours or encouraging others to reject or ignore the person. Bullies typically target individuals who are perceived as weak or vulnerable. CONTACT (860) 772-4738
What is Hazing? Hazing is any activity that is expected of a person who joins a club or a group that humiliates, degrades or risks emotional or physical harm irrespective of whether the person consents to it or not. It’s an action or a situation that is intentionally created by a group to cause mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule those who wish to join the group. Hazing activities that result in serious injuries are punishable under the law, and the services of a hazing defence attorney would be needed to pursue the case in court. CONTACT (860) 772-4738

Role of coaches in preventing bullying and hazing As a coach of character and integrity, you must have zero tolerance for any form of bullying on your team. Some coaches in schools condone bullying by older or more prominent and influential athletes on the team. Their indifferent attitude allows the perpetrators to engage in hazing activities. The harm may not be physical, but bullying often leads to depression when a victim feels trapped in the situation. In some extreme cases, depression can even lead to suicide. You might be charged for a crime along with the perpetrators and would need to hire a hazing defence attorney to defend you in court. CONTACT (860) 772-4738
