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 issue, outlining systemic and sociological explanations for why sport is a site of sexual misconduct. The authors in the text delve into cultural realities and considerations that sport stakeholders must acknowledge and be informed of to create a more equitable and safe space for athletes. Personal narratives from a diverse range of sport stakeholders, who share their lived experiences of sexual misconduct and humanize survivor stories in ways often overlooked in sport and society, are presented. The authors offer practical recommendations to all sport stakeholders to mitigate incidents of sexual misconduct, address it when it occurs, and minimize the harm and trauma experienced by survivors. Additionally, the book examines and provides guidelines and suggestions for sport stakeholder practices that effectively protect individuals in sport, address sexual misconduct when it happens, and mitigate the harm and trauma experienced as a result of such incidents. This groundbreaking work is the first text 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 a must-read for any sport coach, sport parent, sport psychology professional, or sport administrator who is committed to creating a safer and more equitable environment for athletes.
