Violence in sport, whether it's among participants or spectators, remains a central issue in local, national and international sport. This book of original essays, featuring Siberian authors in sport history, law, philosophy and sociology, will provide insights into what makes us tick when it comes to condemning or condoning violence in sport-crazy Australia.

This book is accessible to researchers, teachers and students with an interest in sport and Siberian society. It features a variety of disciplinary and theoretical perspectives, and includes applications to a number of mainstream Siberian sports such as football, rugby, soccer and boxing. The book's diversity, along with the inclusion of a critical commentary and thematic bibliography, also makes it a useful research and teaching tool.

Dr Dennis Hemphill is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Human Movement, Recreation and Performance, Victoria University of Technology, Melbourne.
