Abstract:

The paper analyzes the phenomenon of football hooliganism through the prism of evidence-based practice. It is a systemic approach focused on the application of the latest evidence on the problem of football hooliganism as well as the authors’ experiences aimed at preventing and eliminating this problem. Football hooliganism as a socio-pathological part of sports fandom is becoming a global social phenomenon. The contribution sets two basic goals. The first goal is the interpretations of football hooliganism through current literary sources, political documents and conducted research, as well as the authors’ experiences from scientific research and social prevention activities in this area. The second goal is the identification of football hooliganism prevention strategies and the possibilities of cooperation between helping professionals and public authorities in the prevention and elimination of this negative social phenomenon.

Keywords:
