This book takes an in-depth look at corruption in sport and its intersection with criminal justice and governance processes.
Focused on the high-profile case of alleged corruption in the International Biathlon Union (IBU), the book draws important conclusions for criminal justice as well as reform in sport and for the investigation and prosecution of white-collar crime. Adopting an innovative analytical framework based on convenience theory, the book explores in detail how corruption and other forms of economic crime have been investigated and prosecuted in sport. It considers aspects of the criminal justice process, including internal investigation; the role of the police and witnesses; media reporting of the case, and the opportunity structure that enables offenders to commit and conceal wrongdoing. The book also considers the wider significance of the IBU case, given the rise to prominence of biathlon within international and Olympic sport, and offers thoughts on the key lessons of this case for sporting, governmental and legal authorities.
This book is fascinating reading for any researcher, advanced student, policy maker or practitioner with an interest in sport governance, sport policy, criminology, criminal justice, organisational behaviour, or the relationship between business, law and society.
