Routledge Criminology, Leisure and Sport: Interdisciplinary Perspectives

Criminology, Leisure and Sport: Interdisciplinary Perspectives offers a comprehensive exploration of how criminology intersects with leisure and sport studies. This volume, part of the Advances in Leisure Studies series from Routledge, brings together scholarly research that examines the complex relationships between criminal behaviour, recreational activities, and sporting contexts. The book addresses how leisure and sport environments can both prevent and contribute to crime, whilst analysing the social, cultural, and institutional factors that shape these dynamics. Ideal for students and researchers in criminology, sociology, and leisure studies, this interdisciplinary work provides critical insights into contemporary issues affecting communities and organisations. The collection features contributions from leading experts who examine real-world applications and theoretical frameworks relevant to policy makers, law enforcement professionals, and leisure industry practitioners.
