Sexual Misconduct in any environment is a gross abuse of trust, and this is no different within the sport world. Examining and Mitigating Sexual Misconduct in Sport provides a comprehensive exploration of the systemic and sociological factors that contribute to sexual misconduct in the sport realm. The authors of the text delve into cultural realities and considerations that sport stakeholders must acknowledge and understand to create a more equitable and safe sporting environment. Personal narratives from a diverse range of sport stakeholders, who share their lived experiences of sexual misconduct and humanize the stories of survivors in ways that are often overlooked in sport and society, are presented. The authors offer practical recommendations to all sport stakeholders to mitigate incidents of sexual misconduct, address instances of misconduct when they occur, and minimize the harm and trauma experienced by those affected. Additionally, the book examines and provides guidelines and suggestions for sport stakeholder practices that enhance the protection of individuals in sport, effectively respond to sexual misconduct incidents, and mitigate the long-term effects of such misconduct. This groundbreaking work is the first of its kind to invite sport stakeholders to engage in open, vulnerable, and honest discussions about a timely topic that is often minimized, denied, or ignored in the sport world. It is essential reading for any sport coach, sport parent, sport psychology professional, or sport administrator who is committed to promoting a safe and inclusive sporting environment for all participants.
