Abstract

Competitions in sport games can cause athletes to become overly immersed, and it can lead to violent incidents. In Korea, structural violence and animosity between senior and junior athletes and between coaches and athletes have been rampant in the field of sports (Sohn, 2011). Although criminal acts under the code of criminal procedure have been applied in many different cases of violence and the perpetrators have been punished, structural violence in sports community is still a chronic problem in Korea. The purpose of this study was to find and analyze specific examples of structural violence and actual cases of sports crimes occurring in sports to present countermeasures and mitigation measures against structural violence in the Korean sports community.
