Synopsis

This book examines the use of sport and physical activity-based interventions as a means by which to address crime and anti-social behaviour.

Covering a range of different sporting and physical activities across an array of social contexts involving both adult and youth populations, this book provides insight into the way in which sport and physical activity is interpreted by participants and practitioners, and how these interpretations relate to broader policy objectives within and across criminal justice systems. Featuring contributions co-written by academics and practitioners, the book presents fascinating case studies from around the world, including the use of yoga in prisons, e-cycling and social reintegration, and rehabilitation and resettlement through parkrun.

With criminal justice at the heart of on-going political and academic debates, this book is timely reading for any researcher, policy maker, practitioner or advanced student working in sport policy, sport development, criminology, social work or youth work.
