New academic research closing in on the ref
Managing and Developing Sports Officials: Officiating Excellence, edited by Tom Webb, David J. Hancock, Pamm Phillips & Jacob K.

Our reviewer is Stuart Carrington, whose 2019 book Blowing the Whistle: The Psychology of Football Refereeing places him well for the job. And he is quite satisfied with this crucial contribution to the literature around sports officials that more than meets its aim.
