Beschreibung:
Deborah Jump is Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Manchester Metropolitan University. She has over fifteen years' experience of working in youth justice as both a practitioner and service manager. She is the Head of Youth Justice at the Manchester Centre for Youth Studies and was previously the recipient of a Winston Churchill Memorial Fund evaluating the impact of sporting programmes on communities in the USA.
This perceptive study explores the extent to which boxing has the potential to reduce violent attitudes among young offenders. Jump assesses conflicting evidence and presents in-depth case studies of fighters to ask whether boxing's values of discipline and respect can create a support network that helps young men refrain from reoffending.
