Chuliganie stadionowi w Republice Czeskiej: wybrane wątki
Abstract
Since the 1990s organized groups have begun to appear in the Czech Republic
called „football hooligans”. These groups have drawn the attention of
the media, security forces, officials of the Czech Republic Football Association,
and the broader public. This text focuses on selected topics associated
with the phenomenon of football hooliganism. After a brief history of football
hooliganism abroad, especially in England, it will describe the current
status of this phenomenon in the Czech Republic. An important part of the
text will be devoted to classifying spectators surveyed at football matches
into three groups: the broader football audience, fans, and hooligans. Each
of these groups will be given a basic description based on previous research
carried out at football stadiums.
Another goal of the text will be to present the sociological discussion about
this phenomenon in the Czech setting, identify the main research avenues,
and present some of the sociological studies done in the Czech Republic in
recent years. Another important part of the text will be a conceptualization
of individual terms, and a brief history of the phenomenon in the Czech
Republic, and in the Czechoslovak Republic prior to 1989. Subsequent passages
will present the legislative measures and specific laws that have been
adopted to address the phenomenon of football hooliganism.
