The use of sports-based activity programmes as a means of tackling
crime has been explored in a number of countries worldwide,
particularly in relation to the prevention of re-offending in the
ten to eighteen age bracket. However, until now there has been no
definitive and rigorous analysis of the rationale behind these
programmes, and evidence of their successes and failures has been
piecemeal, uncritical and without standardization. This book
addresses this gap in the literature, bringing together empirical
research from programmes in the UK, US and Australia with an
explanation and evaluation of the results of these initiatives.
Subjects covered include:
- assessment of programmes in a range of contexts
- the first evidence base of crime reduction sport
programmes
- international comparisons and case studies
- conclusions for best practice
- advice for monitoring the effectiveness of programmes
- synergies withsport development and promotion of facility
use.
Examining a variety of realworld case studies set up with the
aim of reducing levels of crime in the community, Sport and Crime
Reduction should be read by students and professionals in local
government, sports development, youth and community work,
criminology, the youth justice system and leisure policy.
