"This is a comprehensive emergency trauma management text specifically for athletic trainers and athletic training students that addresses the cognitive and psychomotor skills taught in traditional first aid courses (community first aid, first responder, emergency medical technician, and professional rescuer CPR) and discusses specific athletic training emergency trauma skills outlined in the educational competencies set by the Board of Certification (BOC). It is a resource to help readers develop concepts and instruction on current techniques used in the recognition and management of athletic trauma identified in the NATA Educational Competencies. Within each chapter there will be a mix of cognitive knowledge addressing theory and demonstration of the psychomotor skill. Each chapter is designed to account for multiple learning styles, incorporating didactic, visual, and kinesthetic learning where appropriate"--Provided by publisher.

From the Publisher : "Fair or Foul : Sports and Criminal Behavior in the United States" is an examination of the intersection of these two increasingly connected worlds. The book was written to answer two questions. First, is there a relationship between athletic participation and criminal behavior? Second, what other connections-positive or negative-exist between sports and crime? To arrive at his answers, author Christopher S. Kudlac surveys professional, college, and high school sports in relation to crime, spectator crime, and gambling. Other topics include how urban sports programs help deter kids from getting involved in crime and how the use of sports in prisons has worked to positive effect. The book also examines the issues of aggression, masculinity, commercial incentives (or disincentives), and other contributing factors that may spur illegal activity among athletes and spectators. Looking at the subject from the perspectives of criminal justice and forensic psychology, Kudlac is able to uncover just how intertwined the two worlds are-for better or for worse.
