This book critically examines the important issues associated
with aggression and violence in sport, including:
* a review of current theory in the psychology of
aggression
* exploration of how players become acclimatised to physical
violence
* discussion of the psychological benefits of sanctioned and
unsanctioned sport violence
* examination of the moral and ethical dimensions of the
debate
* the psychological basis of spectator aggression
* case studies from a wide variety of sports.
This text is a must read for researchers and students within
sport studies, psychology and sociology with an interest in human
violence and aggressive behaviour.
