Sommario/riassunto

This book examines the security needs for sports teams and events of all sizes. It provides a fundamental model for sports team security that can be applied almost universally, from youth sports to the Super Bowl and World Cup. It develops, compares, and contrasts current methodologies in sports security, for both amateur and professional athletes, examining which paradigms work best and under which circumstances.
