| Popis | Using the theoretical lenses of Garland’s culture of control theory, this paper examines the ‘counter-hooligan’ field in the Czech Republic. We enhance our analytical framework by incorporating the theories of pre-crime and securitisation to account for the gradual intrusion of the precautionary logic of security in the crime control realm. Through archival research, analysis of judicial decisions, and interviews with security professionals (football clubs’ security managers and police officers), we analysed the discourse and practices within the Czech ‘counter-hooligan’ field. We describe how, eventually, the risk-focused crime control model has become the primary logic guiding both discourse and practices, whereas the privatisation of responsibility emerged as the field’s dominating philosophy. Finally, we discuss possible explanations of this transformation, such as the uncritical adoption of foreign ‘best practice’ strategies. |
