Boys Gone Wild

Fame, Fortune, And Deviance Among Professional Football Players

Beschreibung

This book examines why some professional football players participate in deviant, and sometimes illegal, behavior while others do not. Carter's research reveals three core themes (deviance, anomie, social ties) and confirms the primacy of social ties and support in buffering anomie and deviance in the lives of professional football players.
