AB  - From the Publisher : "Fair or Foul : Sports and Criminal Behavior in the United States" is an examination of the intersection of these two increasingly connected worlds.  The book was written to answer two questions.  First, is there a relationship between athletic participation and criminal behavior?  Second, what other connections-positive or negative-exist between sports and crime?  To arrive at his answers, author Christopher S. Kudlac surveys professional, college, and high school sports in relation to crime, spectator crime, and gambling.  Other topics include how urban sports programs help deter kids from getting involved in crime and how the use of sports in prisons has worked to positive effect.  The book also examines the issues of aggression, masculinity, commercial incentives (or disincentives), and other contributing factors that may spur illegal activity among athletes and spectators.  Looking at the subject from the perspectives of criminal justice and forensic psychology, Kudlac is able to uncover just how intertwined the two worlds are-for better or for worse.
