She Should be Smart Enough To Know, Hey, These Things Can Happen”
Sexual aggression (SA) by men toward women, including harassment and unwanted sexual touching, is ubiquitous in drinking venues. Focus groups with 38 male volunteers aged 19-26 were used to articulate men’s perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs (PABs) related to SA in drinking venues for future development of a comprehensive questionnaire. Three cross-cutting themes relevant to prevention emerged from discussions structured using a 6-dimensional th…
Child labour in high performance and professional sport
Children’s right to play and leisure has historically and currently been violated by the many demands of adults. This is now evident in the widespread structuring of the time of middle-class children in programmed activities, including sports. In a contribution to this special issue on leisure, citizenship and human rights the paper begins with an overview of how participation in sports became so work-like for many children. This is followed by a…
Building on existing tools to improve chronic disease prevention and screening in public health

Social Media Use and Cyber-Bullying
PURPOSE: Social media use (SMU) has become an intrinsic part of adolescent life. Negative consequences of SMU for adolescent health could include exposures to online forms of aggression. We explored age, gender, and cross-national differences in adolescents' engagement in SMU, then relationships between SMU and victimization and the perpetration of cyber-bullying. METHODS: We used data on young people aged 11-15 years (weighted n = 180,919 in 42 …

Between a rock and a hard place
Arms' length bodies are often seen as a tool of technocratic governance, designed to insulate decision-making from the politicizing pressures of populist influence. This article examines a subset of arms' length bodies in the UK which challenge this convention: agencies which exist to 'champion' the voice of patients and the public in the four NHS systems (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales). We compare the functions of these agencies …
The Death of Confidants and Changes in Older Adults’ Social Lives
This study examines the consequences of confidant death for the social lives of older adults, testing hypotheses from socio-emotional selectivity theory and the hierarchical compensatory model. We draw upon longitudinal data from the National Social Life Health and Aging Project—a nationally representative survey of older adults ( N = 2,261). We employ ordinary least squares (OLS) and ordinal logistic regressions in the context of multiple imputa…

Characterising risk of homicide in a population-based cohort
BACKGROUND: Homicide is an extreme expression of violence that has attracted less attention from public health researchers and policy makers interested in prevention. The purpose of this study was to examine the socioeconomic gradient of homicide and to determine whether risk differs by immigration status. METHODS: We conducted a population-based cohort study using linked vital statistics, census and population data sets that included all deaths …
One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
Millions of children and adolescents around the world participate in organized sport for holistic health and developmental benefits. However, for some, sport participation is characterized by experiences of maltreatment, including forms of abuse and neglect. In Canada, efforts to address and prevent maltreatment in sport have been characterized by recurring cycles of crisis, public attention, policy response, sluggish implementation, and active r…

Lessons for the United States From Single-Payer Systems
US political debates often refer to the experience of “single-payer” systems such as those of Canada and the United Kingdom. We argue that single payer is not a very useful category in comparative health policy analysis but that the experiences of countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Spain, Sweden, and Australia provide useful lessons. In creating universal tax-financed systems, they teach the importance of strong, unified governments at…

Youth violence victims and perpetrators in Ontario
A population-based study of homicide deaths in Ontario, Canada using linked death records
Homicides are an important cause of death among young males, and populations living in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Our findings raise concerns about the burden of homicides in the Canadian population and the importance of addressing social determinants to address these premature deaths

Interculturalism and Physical Cultural Diversity in the Greater Toronto Area
The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is one of the most multicultural communities in the world. Frequently, this description is based on ethnic, linguistic, and culinary diversity. Physical cultural diversity, such as different sports, martial arts, forms of dance, exercise systems, and other physical games and activities, remains ignored and understudied. Based on a living database of the GTA’s physical cultural diversity, this study identifies the tr…

Sport as Work
Sport and work are usually identified as opposites, but there are several ways that sport is work‐like and a number of ways that sport is related to work. Although it is commonplace to refer to professional sports as a business, popular resentment about the high salaries of some professional athletes in some sports is related to the sense that sport is not work. However, sport and work have become metaphors for each other; while businesses freque…
Sport Culture and Subcultures
Little research focuses specifically on sport and culture, although there is continued interest in fan culture, celebrity culture, and body culture in sports. Research on and theoretical approaches to sport culture and subcultures in the sociology of sport have focused more on sport subcultures. Sport subcultural research continues to shed light on the historical processes by which a way of playing a sport becomes the way of playing the sport and…
The Wages of Continuity
In government, the SNP has accentuated stability, public provision, and integration in health care and focused energy and patience in neglected ‘Cinderella’ policy areas such as mental health, public health, and health inequalities. This approach is not dissimilar to the policies of previous devolved Scottish governments. It makes Scotland an unusual kind of NHS system- one with stability and long-term focus on issues that are not obvious politic…
Interpretive Approaches in the Sociology of Sport
This chapter explains interpretive sociology within the larger field of sociology, and focuses on the two main expressions of interpretive sociology in the sociology of sport: hermeneutic analyses and ethnographic analyses. The critical turn in North American and British sociology saw an increasing emphasis on power and the constraining features of social structure, even in the interpretive approaches to sociology. The contemporary (pre)dominance…
Cross-national time trends in bullying victimization in 33 countries among children aged 11, 13 and 15 from 2002 to 2010
BACKGROUND: Bullying among children and adolescents is a public health concern; victimization is associated with psychological and physical health problems. The purpose of this study is to examine temporal trends in bullying victimization among school-aged children in Europe and North America. METHODS: Data were obtained from cross-sectional self-report surveys collected as part of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study from na…
The Construction and Confirmation of Identity in Sport Subcultures
It is usual in interactionist research to view the process of socialization into subcultures as, in part, a process of identity formation. However, we prefer to examine this process, at least in the case of sport subcultures, as a far more deliberate act of identity construction. That is, through a variety of means, the most significant of which is modeling, the neophyte member begins to deliberately adopt mannerisms, attitudes, and styles of dre…
The Local and the Global
This article sets the stage for this Journal of Sport & Social Issues special issue on sport and globalism. As a preface to the more detailed treatments that follow, the author considers the development of inquiry on sport and globalization in the social sciences. Key definitional terms such as modernization, cultural imperialism, and cultural hegemony are framed in the context of debates over Americanization and globalization. Refinements in rec…
Sport Volunteerism and Social Capital
This study focuses on the relationship between sport volunteerism and social capital, defined here as a resource that stems from participation in certain social networks. A position generator and a resources generator were used to measure the social capital of respondents. Results from this pilot study survey, exploring several aspects of volunteerism in sport in two Canadian communities (one in Québec, the other in Ontario), show a strong relati…
Human Rights in Sports
This article, inspired by the activities surrounding the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, examines both the development and potential of human rights initiatives in sports. Following a general discussion of the development and status of human rights, we turn specifically to the issue of human rights in sports, both in terms of the human rights of athletes and in terms of a more basic right to participate in sport and…
A Sociology of North American Sociology of Sport
As we pass the 30th anniversary of a recognized sociology of sport in North America, it is appropriate to develop a current sociological analysis of the subdiscipline. In the first part we examine the origins of the field and the development of the Wisconsin socialization paradigm and the social problems perspective. In the second part we explore the critical shift in the field, emerging from an engagement with C. Wright Mills, and the developmen…
Reproduction and Transformation of Cultural Forms in Sport A Contextual Analysis of Rugby
This paper provides an examination of the cultural development of Rugby football in England and North America, and an account of the simultaneous transformation of the game since 1965 in both settings. At a time of active cultural exchange across the North Atlantic, English Rugby began to adopt the trappings of rationalized North American spectator sports; while the simultaneous reappearance of Rugby in North America - replete with the traditiona…
The Disappointment Games
This article provides a comparative analysis of news narratives of 'disappointment' in Canada and New Zealand in response to the 2000 Olympics. The theoretical framework draws on Luhmann's distinction between cognitive and normative orientations to expectations, contingency, and disappointment. The analysis examines how disappointment was thematized similarly as a decline in relation to past performance, but explained somewhat differently in the …
Whose Knowledge Counts? The Production of Knowledge and Issues of Application in the Sociology of Sport
This essay was prompted by and is a response to Yiannakis’ (1989) article in which he called for a more applied orientation on the part of sociologists of sport. In our response, we argue that Yiannakis’ position is flawed because he fails to explore the oftentimes political overdetermination of academic process and the links between the marketplace of physical culture and the prestige hierarchies that exist within the university—How do the two c…

Subcultural Production, Reproduction and Transformation in Climbing
In the first part, the paper examines the constitution of climbing as a play-like activity with respect to the physical environment, hazard and jeopardy, and the social construction of a standard of jeopardy sufficient for different environments. Second, the social production of the activity prior to 1865 is considered in terms of completing an ascent, and the production of the activity as a sport after 1865 in terms of completing an ascent the h…
Sport for Development and Peace
In the increasing amount of published research and critical commentary on sport for development and Peace (sdp) two related trends are apparent. The first is a clear belief that, under certain circumstances, sport may make a useful contribution to work in international development and peace building; the second is that criticisms of it are frequently constructive, intended to support the work of practitioners in the field by outlining the limitat…
Democratization Revisited
In recent years, sociologists and historians of sport appear to have paid little attention to the process of democratization. “Classes to masses” type statements are still heard, and the assumption persists that if the participants in a sport at some earlier time came from a higher social class than the current participants, then democratization has magically occurred. This paper represents an attempt to revive the concept of democratization by p…

The paradox of parks
This paper has been prompted by the growing interest in the mass trespasses of the 1930s and increasing current concens about public access to land for the purpose of recreation. It represents a preliminary attempt to place in context the issues of loss of access to non-agricultural land, the attempts to regain access, and the consequences of the resultant establishment of various national and countryside parks. Loss of access is discussed in ter…
I didn't have a clue what we were doing’
Calls to extend the franchise to 16 and 17 year olds are gaining ground, with the 2014 Referendum on Scottish Independence potentially acting as a test ground for wider reforms. Debates on the relative merits of this decision aside, there is little practical experience of registering and engaging young people with major elections in the Scottish context. This article reports research on pilot Health Board Elections held in two areas of Scotland i…
Democratizing’ Public Services? Representation and Elections in the Scottish NHS
In representative democracies most public administration is actually directed by unelected appointees. These appointees are accountable to voters only indirectly through a minister. In Scotland, many decisions on healthcare provision are made by regional health boards. The Scottish government authorized experimental elections to two of these health boards in the hope of democratizing health service administration. Our research uncovered many unex…
Child Labour, Sport Labour
The problems associated with children's involvement in high-performance sport are considered and equated to the issue of child labour. After considering the extent and severity of problems with child labour in all parts of the world, the paper then turns to the problem of 'sport labour'. Although this is by no means as serious as the child labour problem, it has many similar characteristics. The reasons why high performance sport involvement is n…
Les inégalités sociales dans le sport

Du point de vue social, par contre, le sport a été considéré comme un grand niveleur.

What if the players controlled the game? Dealing with the consequences of the crisis of governance in sports
It is difficult to find anything else in the world quite so badly governed as international sport" (Katwala, 2000). Little has improved since Katwala's comment, and governance problems are now evident in national sport organisations, professional sports, and educational sport. These problems are related to the effects of globalisation, institutionalisation, and commercialisation on sport; processes and forces that have acted to produce a cultural…
Assessing the sociology of sport
On the 50th anniversary of the ISSA and IRSS, one of the most influential scholars linking the sociology of sport to policy and social change, Peter Donnelly, considers the prospects for a nexus meshing public intellectualism with the doing of research. Noted in considering the trajectory of the field was an early absence of the sociologist as partisan and the staking of positions that make clear 'whose side we are on.' While the critical turn in…

Inference of Population Structure Using Multilocus Genotype Data
We describe a model-based clustering method for using multilocus genotype data to infer population structure and assign individuals to populations. We assume a model in which there are K populations (where K may be unknown), each of which is characterized by a set of allele frequencies at each locus. Individuals in the sample are assigned (probabilistically) to populations, or jointly to two or more populations if their genotypes indicate that th…
