Criminalizing Hazing: Seeking Accountability and Prevention
The chapter investigates the criminal implications of the Adams Law education bill, particularly focusing on efforts to classify hazing as a felony, inspired by the tragic death of Adam Oakes. It highlights contrasting views in the General Assembly and the push for accountability for hazing-related deaths, as well as the actions taken by the victim's family to prevent hazing through the Love Like Adam Foundation. The discussion also touches on the response of institutions like universities and fraternities to hazing incidents, emphasizing the need to shift hazing culture to prevent such tragedies.
