The objective of the book is to provide better and safer sporting experiences for today's children. Written in an easy-to-understand style, the book features articles and human interest stories about people in youth sport at the end of each chapter.

Download or read book Sexual Abuse in Youth Sport written by Michael J. Hartill and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cases of sport-related child sexual abuse have received increasing news coverage in recent years. This book documents and evaluates this important issue through a critical investigation of the research and theory on sexual violence and child sex offending that has emerged over the past thirty years. Based on life-history interviews with male and female ‘survivors’ of child sexual abuse in sport, this text offers a deeper appreciation for the experiences of those who are sexually victimized within sports and school-sport settings. Drawing on a wide range of sources, it also provides a new theoretical framework through which child sexual abuse in sport may be explored. Offering a critique spanning psychology, sociology and criminology, this book challenges existing theories of sex offending while advocating an alternative epistemology to help better understand and address this social problem. Presenting an original sociological approach to this field of study, Sexual Abuse in Youth Sport is important reading for any researcher, policy-maker or practitioner working in youth sport, physical education, sports coaching, sport policy, child protection or social work.

Download or read book Case and Statutory Law Regarding the Liability of Youth Sport Organizations for the Pedophilic Actions of Youth Sport Coaches and Officials Based on the Theories of Respondeat Superior Negligent Hiring and Negligent Retention written by Thomas A. Baker and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: More than 10 million children below the age of 16 play organized sports (Peterson, 2004). The majority of these children are coached by volunteer, unscreened adult males (Peterson, 2004). The lack of screening on the part of youth sport organizations coupled with the access that they provide to large numbers of children create a ready-made resource pool for pedophiles (Nack & Yaeger, 1999). By coaching youth sports, pedophiles are given an opportunity to win over parents and gain the trust of children. Parents and athletes alike put faith in their coaches and this faith can easily be exploited by coaches who are sexual abusers (Deak, 1999). In my study, case law for all 50 United States and the District of Columbia was analyzed with the purpose of determining the applicability of the tort theories of respondeat superior, negligent hiring, and negligent retention in terms of holding youth sport organizations liable for the pedophilic actions of their coaches and officials. My study also analyzed voluntary immunity statutes for all 50 United States to determine whether said statutes provide defenses to the aforementioned tort theories for youth sport organizations. By analyzing the law for all 50 states and the District of Columbia, I was able to determine comparisons and differences that can be drawn between the states in how they apply the law for these tort theories and voluntary immunity statutes. Finally, my study analyzed the corresponding standard of care that is imposed on youth sport organizations for all 50 states and the District of Columbia so that youth sport organizations will know what is needed of them to avoid liability and guard against abuse.

Download or read book Sport and Crime Reduction written by Geoff Nichols and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-14 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of sports-based activity programmes as a means of tackling crime has been explored in a number of countries worldwide, particularly in relation to the prevention of re-offending in the ten to eighteen age bracket. However, until now there has been no definitive and rigorous analysis of the rationale behind these programmes, and evidence of their successes and failures has been piecemeal, uncritical and without standardization. This book addresses this gap in the literature, bringing together empirical research from programmes in the UK, US and Australia with an explanation and evaluation of the results of these initiatives. Subjects covered include: assessment of programmes in a range of contexts the first evidence base of crime reduction sport programmes international comparisons and case studies conclusions for best practice advice for monitoring the effectiveness of programmes synergies with sport development and promotion of facility use. Examining a variety of realworld case studies set up with the aim of reducing levels of crime in the community, Sport and Crime Reduction should be read by students and professionals in local government, sports development, youth and community work, criminology, the youth justice system and leisure policy.
