The book explores organised 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 exploitative labour practices. Offering a sophisticated theoretical framework for understanding violence in a sporting context and including new case studies and updated 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. This new edition also recognises burgeoning new literatures, such as research examining concussion and the link between sport and mental illness and includes student-friendly pedagogical aids, such as critical thinking questions at the end of each chapter. Sport, Violence and Society is a vital read for anyone studying or working in the areas of the Sociology of Sport, Sport Psychology, Ethics and Philosophy of Sport, Sport and Politics, Sports History, and Sport and the Media"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and indexes. 505 0 $a A history of violence : definitions, theories and perspectives -- Formations of sports-related violence : widening the focus -- Player violence : the drift to criminalization -- Crowd violence : from hooliganism to post-event riots -- Risk, pain and injury in sport : a cause or effect of violence? -- Sport in the panopticon : the social control of SRV -- An eye on SRV : the role of the media -- Stratified SRV : stasis and change. 650 0 $a Violence in sports. 650 0 $a Sports $x Sociological aspects. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781317568995 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190905041659.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B93F24FAB81211E9A4E5754297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
