"Rethinking Aggression and Violence in Sport uses numerous illustrative examples from a variety of sports to critically examine important issues associated with aggression and violence in sport, and includes: a review of current theory in the psychology of aggression and violence; discussion of sanctioned and unsanctioned aggression and violence in sport; an explanation of how players become acclimatised to physical violence; examination of the aggression and violence debate in youth sport; consideration of fan violence and sport riots; and exploration of why people enjoy watching violent sport and its effect on observers." "The book is a must for teachers, students and researchers within sport science/studies psychology and sociology with an interest in human violence and aggressive behaviour."--BOOK JACKET.
