Sports Criminology: A Critical Criminology of Sport and Games: New Horizons in Criminology
Autor Nic Groombridgeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 sep 2017
From doping among professional athletes to crime prevention through sports, the discussion of crime in sports seems to be on the rise. This is the first book to provide a critical criminological perspective on sports and the myriad connections between sports and crime. Part of the New Horizons in Criminology series, it utilizes the interdisciplinary nature of criminology to incorporate emerging perspectives from diverse fields like the study of social harm, gender and sexuality studies, and green criminology. Written from an international perspective, Sports Criminology covers both a range of topics, from sports scandals to the possibility of crime prevention, and a range of sports disciplines. American football, boxing, soccer, and sumo are all examined, making this book an essential read for scholars of sports law and the sociology of sports alike.

Recenzii
“The book does a fantastic job of introducing readers to sports criminology and offers a starting point for those interested in critical criminology of sport.”
“A thought-provoking book. . . Rather than a resounding final buzzer, the last few pages—and the book as a whole—seem more like an opening bell or a starting pistol. Or, to switch metaphors, Groombidge has thrown out the first pitch. It is now up to us. Batter up.”
“Groombridge’s fluency with methodology across the social sciences and his choice selection of case studies leavened with engaging revelations of his own sporting life make this focused scholarship an entertaining and thoroughly recommended read.”
“A timely and much needed overview and consideration of sports criminology, which will help define this emerging field and become an essential resource for a wide range of scholars and students.”
