Coalter, Fred

9780415363501 - A wider social role for sport
2e hands

Artikelomschrijving

Sport is perceived to have the potential to alleviate a variety of social problems and generally to improve both individuals and the communities in which they live. Sport is promoted as a relatively cost effective antidote to a range of social problems - often those stemming from social exclusion - including poor health, high crime levels, drug abuse and persistent youth offending, educational under-achievement, lack of social cohesion and community identity and economic decline. To this end, there is increasing governmental interest in what has become known as sport for good. A Wider Social Role for Sport presents the political and historical context for this increased government interest in sports potential contribution to a range of social problems. The book explores the particular social problems that governments seek to address through sport, and examines the nature and extent of the evidence for sports positive role.
