Match -fixing has become a widespread international problem in
recent years. It includes everything from bribery of players, to
putting undue influences on the owners of the soccer clubs,
managers, coaches and others who have the ability to affect the
final scores. In addition, match-fixing spills over into the arena
of illegal betting (in person and online), which creates a host of
additional organized crime opportunities, including human
trafficking, prostitution, drugs, extortion and even terrorism.
This timely volume brings together international contributions with
an aim is to increase awareness of the problems associated with
match-fixing and the degree to which key agents in sport,
particularly young people, are vulnerable. The contributions are
based on INTERPOL's Global Experts Meeting in Singapore, in
November 2012, which brought together key speakers to discuss
issues surrounding match-fixing and how to combat corruption in
football through channels of education. The purpose of this meeting
was to identify ways that academia can play a role in developing
and implementing training modules and academic courses, including
certification procedures, to prevent match-fixing and develop lines
of study at all educational levels. This unique work reflects the
gravity of the situation around the world together with possible
solutions.
