Sport is socially important. It encourages people to move, contributes to a healthy lifestyle, and can also promote social cohesion in a neighbourhood or municipality.
Sport can also be vulnerable to criminal interference or subversion. This report presents findings from a study on subversion in amateur sports in the 25 municipalities in the RIEC region of Rotterdam. In addition to unraveling the phenomenon and identifying indicators of criminal interference, predictions have been made about the extent of subversion in amateur sports based on a data model. An action perspective has been developed regarding detection and intervention.
The research was commissioned by the RIEC Rotterdam and the Municipality of Rotterdam and was conducted by a consortium of three parties: Bureau Beke for the criminological perspective, Dialogic for data analysis, and the Vrije Universiteit – sport and law – for the action perspective.
