POLITICS, POLICY AND PRACTICE
Edited by Haydn Morgan and Andrew Parker
Sport, Physical Activity
and Criminal Justice
This book explores the various ways in which participation in sport and physical
activity might contribute to effective solutions within criminal justice systems.
Focusing on a range of different sporting and physical activities across an
array of social contexts involving both adult and youth populations, the book
offers 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 justice systems. It focuses on a series of key
issues, including how sport policy (national and international) has developed in
recent years in this area; how and to what extent such policy developments have
impacted organisations and interventions (both custodial and non-custodial) across
sport and criminal justice systems and sectors; and how participant cohorts (such
as disadvantaged and/or ‘at-risk’ young people) have experienced these changes.
With shifting debates around criminal justice and the need for policy and
practical solutions to extend beyond tougher and longer sentencing, this book
is important reading for students, researchers, and practitioners working in sport
pedagogy, sport-for-development, sport and leisure management, sport coach-
ing, physical education, criminology, youth work, youth studies, social work, and
health studies.
Haydn Morgan is Senior Lecturer in Sport Management in the Department for
Health at the University of Bath, UK. Haydn’s research concerns the connection
between participation in sport and physical activity and the enhancement of
social inclusion and wellbeing in marginalized populations.
Andrew Parker is Visiting Professor in the Faculty of Business and Law at the
University of the West of England, UK. Andrew’s research interests focus on
sport and disadvantaged youth, and he has undertaken research and evaluation
studies of sport-based initiatives both in community and custodial settings.
