The anthology Social Control and Disorder in Football: Responses, Regulation, Rupture (Routledge), edited by Mark Turner and Jan Andre Lee Ludvigsen, shows how the ‘beautiful game’ illuminates our understanding of the mechanisms and techniques of social control and regulation in contemporary societies. In his review, Hans K. Hognestad appreciates that the book extends beyond issues of violence and crowd control since football in many places remains one of few public platforms for expressing not only patriotic identities but also various forms of political resistance.
