Hooligan Wars: Causes and Effects of Football Violence (Mainstream Sport)from: Mainstream Publishing October 03, 2002 Best Selling > Books > Violence in Society |

I enjoyed Perrymans angle on the hooligan problem which on recent events over the last few days is very prominent but the book was spoiled for me some what by the inclusion of dougie Brimsons never ending waffle, about how he would do this or do that, put a sock in it he spoiled a good read.

Rolling with the 6.57 Crew: The True Story of Pompey's Legendary Football Fansby: Cass Pennant, Rob Silvester September 17, 2004 Best Selling > Books > Violence in Society |

This book is pure fantasy. The 657 crew were actually a small group of retarded drunks who went around the country getting beaten up by other football fans. Their last outing for a derby game v Southampton typically ended up with them running away as soon as they saw the opposition fans. They seem to have convinced themselves, if nobody else, that they were some sort of feared hooligan firm. Maybe they took too many blows to the head or, more likely their memories failed them after being in an alcoholic stupor for so many years.

This is a brilliant read and explains exactly why it is so difficult for mothers to get away and stay away, because the state agents are all working from different angles instead of in unity.
I am so pleased to see the explanation of how the real abuser escapes the system and is not punished for his crime. That is something I never understood. Also the confusing bit- as to why the court gives the same children back to the man who abused them ??? sometimes in contact and sometimes full custody, and even recently mothers never seeing their children until they are 18. I wanted to see someone else write it as it is. This book does that. The reader can see how the Judges often ... Read More: >>More Details |

The Real Football Factoriesby: Dominic Utton with Danny Dyer March 03, 2008 Best Selling > Books > Violence in Society |
||
|
Several cuts and then some above the usual hooli-lit, this book actually provides some insight and context to the tales of violence and passion on the terraces. Basically the written version of the TV series the International Football Factories, this is the account of what happened both when the cameras were on making that show and when they were off... and as well as providing some seriously scary moments, also shows the comedy and camaraderie in the small TV crew's adventure around the hooligan world. Nine countries in 90 days seems a tall order but Danny Dyer and his crew pull it off - and along the way this book manages to provide a little social, historical and cultural background to the trouble on the terraces.
If hooliganism is seen ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is not a Gladiator in terms of entertainment value - although if you're writing a paper on social anthropology it might be some use. A sentence from the Introduction should give you some idea: 'Sophisticated theoretical and symbolic interpretations of the arena in metaphorical, allegorical, or abstract terms take a rather intellectualist, cerebral approach to a social phenomenon that was primarily visual and atavistic.' Great, but not for the Philistine like me who wants to be entertained with tales of ancient excess. Kyle is an Associate Professor, and writes like one. He takes the irritating art of the footnote to dizzying heights: almost half the book is footnotes. Footnotes follow, and often exceed in length, each chapter. Ch 3 'The ...

Memory and Abuse: Remembering and Healing the Wounds of Traumaby: Charles L. Whitfield October 06, 1995 Best Selling > Books > Violence in Society |
||
|
I picked up this book with a keen curiosity, as it came to discuss about the difference between the ordinary memory and the traumatic memory, the causes, and how one can heal those traumatic memories. Whitfield also addresses the issues of the "false memory" syndrome and the claims of FMSF, which was the highlight during the early 1990s, which, by the way, I had never heard of.
On another note, I personally like the part about how author talked about false self and true self where one is experiencing a trauma, a false self becomes created and takes over and the true self goes into hiding (since the true self didn't know how to deal with the trauma in the childhood years). "Memory and Abuse" by Charles Whitfield is well-written and easy ... Read More: >>More Details |
