activation or arousal of the body (Weinberg. 1999) another important point that needs to be
clarified is the difference between state and trait anxiety (Spielberger, 1966). While state

Fields(2007) Sports-related violence is a form of interpersonal violence. Violence that occurs


in and around the sporting world can have potentially severe physical and psychological
repercussions for those involved. Although scholars in a wide range of disciplines have
addressed three of the subsets of sports-related violence, they have done so without regard to
the interconnected nature of the subsets, choosing instead to look at hazing, brawling, and
foul play as independent problems. By separating hazing, brawling, and foul play and failing
to recognize that their connection to sport connects them, scholars fail to see how sportsrelated violence is a broad example of interpersonal violence. This review describes some of
the academic literature, primarily from the United States, and identifies similar themes and
prevention suggestions that appear across disciplines. It also argues that the three subsets are
an interconnected whole of sports-related violence that deserves more detailed study.
