Introduction

Sport is a leading cultural event in contemporary societies. The fact that often accompanied explosion of violence is a concern. In the present work low is argued that violence in sport has its own nature and is not comparable to the violence in general (Dunning, 2002).

The Increasing Importance of sport in contemporary societies explains the concern about the pervasiveness and seriousness of violence Associated with sport events.
