There are many books written on the subject of Football Violence (Hooliganism), and it is not my place to critique or pass comments, as I am sure most of you are aware, our tastes are personal. Nonetheless, I have listed some of the academic research type books that I have and indeed still use. A list of authors, and a list of links to excellent sites that have been created specifically for books on football violence. You can also purchase direct and reasonably from most of these sites!
