The social impact of sport on crime in England

The overarching aim of this research is to estimate the social value of sport and physical activity in relation to crime in England, using the social return on investment model to provide a monetised ratio. This research will also investigate and evaluate the mechanisms of sport and physical activity in a number of crime reduction contexts.
