About this book
Providing the first EU-wide study of the way football hooliganism has been defined by academics, law makers and enforcers, and the media since the 1960s, this book examines the regulation and policing of the phenomenon, which has been influenced by security-related developments within post-bipolar Europe

Reviews
'...the study is a compelling and fascinating one' - International Sports Law Journal
'...Tsoukala has not merely provided a new slant on a single phenomenon; she has shown that the seemingly banal control machinery of European integration can and does infringe on hard-won rights.' - The Oxonian
'Tsoukala takes the reader on an exciting legal journey that shows how the subtle phenomenon of hooliganism has gone from being a domestic national problem of the relatively minor nature to be a great European debate where the issue of civil rights brought to a head in relation to countries' security'. - Aage Alderman, Department of Sport Sciences, Malmo University
