The introductory chapter by Todd Jewell, Afsheen Moti, and Dennis Coates provides a fascinating history lesson about the overlap between violence/aggression and spectator sports.
Dave Berri and I wrote a chapter that includes a meta-analysis of NBA referees as regulators and a statistical look at the efficacy of the so-called "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy.
The book is part of the "Sports Economics, Management, and Policy" series edited by Dennis Coates. Additional books in the series can be found here.
