Counteracting Crimes in the Field of Professional Sports in the Legislation of the States of the Anglo-Saxon Legal System

Abstract

One of the “trend setters” in terms of legal regulation of liability for crimes in the field of professional sports are the United States of America and Great Britain. Accordingly, its analysis can be important for developing its own position on this issue, including the possibility of formulating legislative proposals on this issue. The study shows that the legislators of both countries, despite the unconditional similarity of legal systems, nevertheless have different approaches to solving this issue. The experience of each country is of considerable interest in terms of comparative law, and the attention paid to the issues raised indicates its extreme relevance, which requires taking quite strict measures to solve it today. Their success seems to be achieved only if an integrated approach can be achieved precisely to counter the negative phenomenon, the underestimation of which is already costing our society.
