This innovative collection argues that modern sport can be
characterized by problematic power relations linked to violence,
harm, deviance, and punishment. On the one hand, sport is a
mainstay of community building, an expression of solidarity, and a
means to mental and social health. On the other, there is the star
player who commits sexual violence, the trans athlete whose
achievements are dismissed as fraudulent, or the racist nationalism
of the impassioned sports fan. Power Played illuminates how
criminal/judicial discourses and practices reinforce social
inequalities and blows the whistle on the harm, violence, and
exploitation embedded in sport.
Although service outsourcing has spread throughout Canada's prisons
and jails, into its police, courts, and national security
institutions, and along the border in recent decades, the expanding
scope and pace of corporate involvement in criminal justice
functions has not yet been closely investigated. Changing of the
Guards provides a detailed assessment of privatization and private
influence across the twenty-first-century Canadian criminal justice
system. It illuminates the many consequences of public-private
arrangements for law and policy, transparency, accountability, the
administration of justice, equity, and the public. This trenchant
analysis raises issues that are relevant in Canada and abroad.
