Book Synopsis The Criminology of Boxing, Violence and Desistance by : Deborah Jump
Book excerpt: 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.
