How does violence within sport reflect upon the attitudes of wider society? In this landmark study of violence in and around contemporary sport, Kevin Young offers the first comprehensive sociological analysis of an issue of central importance within sport studies. The book explores organized and spontaneous violence, both on the field and off, and calls for a much broader definition of ?sports-related violence?, to include issues as diverse as criminal behaviour by players, abuse within sport and exploitatory labor practices. Offering a sophisticated new theoretical framework for understanding violence in a sporting context, and including a wide range of case-studies and empirical data ? from professional soccer in Europe to ice hockey in North America ? the book establishes a benchmark for the study of violence within sport and wider society. Through close examination of often contradictory trends, from anti-violence initiatives in professional sports leagues to the role of the media in encouraging hyper-aggression, the book throws new light on our understanding of the socially-embedded character of sport and its fundamental ties to history, culture, politics, social class, gender and the law. 606 $aViolence in sports 606 $aSports$xSociological aspects 615 0$aViolence in sports. 615 0$aSports$xSociological aspects. 676 $a306.483 686 $aZX 7070$2rvk 700 $aYoung$b Kevin$f1959-$0962336 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812107803321 996 $aSport, violence and society$93919711 997 $aUNINA
