Sport, Deviance and Crime

Three credits · Undergraduate

This course examines how ideas of deviant behaviour are constructed, enacted, tolerated, and challenged in and through sport (both recreational and professional); and how sport intersects with the criminal justice system. Students will explore topics such as sport-related violence, the use of performance enhancing drugs, off-field athlete deviance, pain and injury in sport, and the use of sport in crime prevention and prison settings, among others. Prerequisite: HKIN 264. Three credits.
