Sport has long held a special place in the affections of western
industrial societies. This status has protected sport from critical
scrutiny and meant that social inequalities and other problems,
such as sexual harassment and abuse, have all-too-often been
ignored or tacitly condoned. Further, general research on
institutional sex offending has been much slower to develop than
individual, pathological analyses. There is reason to believe that
sport research could contribute to a wider understanding of
institutional abuse. But for that to happen there needs to be a
concerted effort by both sport and non-sport researchers to share
their work more often and more openly. The sport-based researchers
whose work is reported here bring many different approaches to this
work. It is their hope that this book will take this work to a
wider audience, both to increase awareness of sexual abuse in
extra-familial settings and to attract critical interest in the
sharing of research perspectives between those working inside and
outside sport. CONTENTS: Sexual harassment and abuse in sport: The
