Violence in society; Social discrimination; Sociology; Sociology: sport & leisure; Causes & prevention of crime; Organised crime; Football (Soccer, Association football)

This is the first edited collection on the lived experiences of footballers and the wider football community as victims of hate crime, both in the virtual and physical world.

Rates of hate crime within football have been increasing, despite the visibility of anti-racist actions such as 'taking the knee'. With a unique collection of testimonies, this book shows that hostility is a daily occurrence for some professional football players, ranging from online threats to physical intimidation and violence at football matches.

Bringing a range of perspectives to this widespread problem, leading academics, practitioners and policy makers shed light on the best strategies to tackle racism, homophobia, transphobia and misogyny in football.
