Spoilsports: Understanding and Preventing Sexual Exploitation in Sport (Ethics and Sport)

Sexual exploitation in sport is a problem that has beset both male and female athletes privately for decades but which has only recently emerged as a public issue. Spoilsports is the first fully comprehensive text on the issue, integrating cutting-edge academic research, new theoretical perspectives, and practical guidelines for performers, coaches, administrators and policy-makers. Key topics include: * 'moral panic' * children's rights * masculinity and power * making and implementing policy * leadership in sport. Spoilsports draws extensively on the personal experiences of athletes and those involved in sport. Challenging and controversial, this book represents an important step towards tackling a difficult issue. It is essential reading for coaches, athletes, parents, policy-makers and all those with a personal or professional interest in sport.Celia Brackenridge is the author of 'Spoilsports: Understanding and Preventing Sexual Exploitation in Sport (Ethics and Sport)', published 2001 under ISBN 9780419257806 and ISBN 0419257802.
