This comprehensive review of the relationship between sport and crime explains how the experience of sport can lead to behaviour that's harmful to others and is sometimes self-destructive. It challenges the conventional idea of sport as wholesome and beneficial, arguing that sport is often a trigger for crime, in both history and contemporary life.
