How can changing the rules of a sport reduce performer violence?

New rules can outlaw dangerous actions, such as high tackles in rugby union. Strict enforcement of those rules removes opportunities for violent play.

How can fair play campaigns reduce violence in sport?

Campaigns such as the FA's Respect programme promote respect for officials and opponents. Fair play awards reward teams with good disciplinary records.

How can reducing the win ethic help prevent violence?

A focus on enjoyment and fair play reduces pressure and frustration. Junior football without league tables is one example.
