Alcohol+and+hooliganism

It's hard to say when a person becomes a hooligan. A combination of alcohol and fear are the most usual reasons for "hooliganism". But since most of the football fans are male, and are in crowded places like pubs, are there always a risk that there will be violence. But you can't discuss that alcohol develops violence. In 2000/2001, 27% of all offences in Wales and Britain were alcohol related. The following list shows information on arrests during football matches in 2000/2001, that's with European and international matches. Drink related offences 1186 Disorderly Behavior 655 Threatening Behavior 420 Affray 165 Violent disorder 85 Assault 137 Throwing missiles 107 Breach of the peace 351 Running on the pitch 292 Racial/indecent chanting 82 Drugs offences 111 Possession of weapons 30 Criminal damage 91 Other 450

Can football hooliganism be "defeated"?

All kinds of legal meanings and all of the police’s tactics have been used, trying to get control over the hooligans, even deterrent sentencing, new laws, and the creation of the football intelligence unit. In the footballs increasing popularity in the 1970s and 80s, successive governments made a lot of aggressive laws, without having a understanding of hooliganism. These laws went out failing. A lot of the just made the case even worse, it created and aggressive attitude against the police. Just moving the violence away from the football stadiums, but it continued far away from the stadiums. Lord Justin Taylor said the method was like crushing a nut with a sledgehammer.

Trying to prevent the hooliganism, there were made a law to prevent suspected hooligans travelling abroad. But these moves have some serious civil problems, causing the innocent fans to stay home. And people were still concerned if this law really had any effect. Because it is not those people “known as hooligans” who become involved. However, the disorder in and around English stadiums have reduced a lot since the 1970s and 80s. Now are the English football grounds a lot safer than an average town center on a Saturday night. The disorder abroad can be reduced by own methods of policing. It is possible watch out a crowd of drunken football supporters in a way that prevents violence. Just as it was demonstrated at the 2004 European championships in Portugal, and the 2006 World Cup in Germany
