"The book does a fantastic job of introducing readers to sports criminology and offers a starting point for those interested in critical criminology of sport." Human Enhancement Drugs "A thought-provoking book, although one driven by suspense...Groombridge has thrown out the first pitch. It is now up to us. Batter up." Critical Criminology "A timely and much needed overview and consideration of Sports Criminology, which will help define this emerging field and become an essential resource for a wide range of scholars and students" Garry Crawford, University of Salford "Groombridge's fluency with methodology across the social sciences and his choice selection of case studies leavened with engaging revelations of his own sporting life, make this focussed scholarship an entertaining and thoroughly recommended read."
