While it is not easy to know the extent to which hazing incidents are occurring in the United States due to the secretive nature of hazing, yet one study from Alfred University has been done to determine the extent and nature of hazing in U.S. high schools. This study found that of those polled 48 percent of the students that belonged to a group reported that they had been subjected to hazing activities. Thirty-six percent of the students reported that they would not report a hazing incident because they feel that there is no one to tell and 27 percent feel that the adults will not handle the situation “right.”
