The everyday makeup of contemporary sport is increasingly characterised by a perceived explosion of 'deviance' - violence, drug taking, racism, homophobia, misogyny, corruption and excess. Whereas once these behaviours may have been subject to the moral judgments of authority, in the face of dramatic socio-cultural change they become more a matter of populist consumer gaze.
In addressing these developments this book provides a new and insightful approach toward the study of 'deviance' in the realm of sport.
New Perspectives in Sport and 'Deviance' awakens the sociology of sport to the possibilities of re-imagining 'deviance' and offers an evocative approach which will appeal both to academics and students in the field of sociology of sport and sociology of deviance.

New Perspectives on Sport and Deviance examines a significant contradiction in our way of thinking about contemporary sport. On one side, there is a growing awareness of behaviour that is judged to be deviant or outside the frameworks of 'normal' sporting practice, such as drug taking, violence, corruption, cheating, racism, homophobia and sexual abuse. On the other side, there exists a tendency within sporting, political and popular discourses to regard sport as an activity that is conferred with a whole series of positive attributes, a view that conceives sport as an unquestionably positive force in terms of individual and social development. In this systematic assessment of deviance in sport, the authors employ innovative theoretical approaches, building on Foucauldian notions of a 'normalising gaze', to reveal the ways in which deviant behaviours are defined, and inclusive and exclusive practices are policed, within specific sporting cultures.
Tim Crabbe is a Reader in Social and Cultural Studies in Sport at Sheffield Hallam University.
