Violent behaviour among young people on the football field
This project is currently running within the research pillar Belonging of the Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 strategic theme Dynamics of Youth.
Title:
Violent behaviour among young people on the football field.
Summary:
This project explores how and why young people resort to violent behaviour in amateur football matches and how this can be prevented. The research focuses on the tension between the sport as an arena for the free expression of emotions and the need to enable sport to be regulated, safe and appealing.
By using methods and perspectives from Developmental Psychology, Organisational Anthropology and Legal Science, we expect that the researchers will be able to develop new understanding of the emergence and prevention of violence in football that can help government and sports organisations in their efforts to create a safe sporting environment.
