| Abstract
|
:
|
Drawing on their cutting-edge research in criminology and deviance in the discipline of sociology, the authors provide an understanding of sport-related deviance through the application of various approaches to deviance in a sport context. Using extended case studies, the authors examine the subject of deviance through examples that are popular (fan violence, hockey enforcers, effect of the media), understudied (sport-related violence against animals, athletes as on-field victims of violence), or emerging (sport security, drugs and weight control, cybernetic athletes, extreme sports). The book explains how forms of wanted and unwanted rule violation are produced by and mediated through social contexts in and around sport. This interdisciplinary text challenges readers to explore the dimensions and analytic merit of a full spectrum of crime and deviancy theories, thus stimulating a broader discussion of rule breaking in sport.
