Description

The first book to focus exclusively on gender-based violence experienced by children in sport. All forms of gender-based violence will be addressed within one book, using research from sport sociology, sport psychology, developmental psychology, and coaching. Research and theories at various levels of influence (e.g., individual, interpersonal, organizational, sociocultural) will be incorporated to understand gender-based violence. Real-life cases of athletes' experiences of gender-based violence will be infused throughout the book. Additionally, cases that illustrate the multi-layered influences on the occurrence, prevention and intervention of gender-based violence in sport will be incorporated. The use of real-life cases will help to bring the theoretical content to life and will enhance the accessibility and comprehensibility of the content for readers. The book will set out future agendas for research and practice to eliminate gender-based violence in children's sport.
