SOCIOLOGICAL VIEWS ON SOCIAL DISORGANIZATION AND SPORTS HOOLIGANCY

Abstract

The paper will be based on a comparative explanation of social disorganization and sports hooliganism from the point of view of sociological science. The very problem of the work is directed to the explanation of sports hooliganism as aggressive behavior. In order to maintain a stable social order, a normative and value consensus is needed, as well as effective institutional mechanisms of social control. Each system has its own logic of development, it is based on a certain method of production that reproduces all other types of activities such as: ideology, politics, culture, lifestyle and sport. Every sports hazard includes not only unexpectedness and surprise when it comes to the final result, but also a risk that satisfies the audience's need for strong excitement, in which the personality is emptied and freed from aggressiveness. This phenomenon can lead to violence, i.e. into a situation where the impossibility of achieving the rational is justified by the irrational. Social disorganization leads to a break in the balance, as well as a loss of social control, which is accompanied by the breakdown of formal and informal patterns of social relations, which causes the inability to act effectively in accordance with the set goals. The paper advocates the view that in the spread of sports hooliganism, the primary social context is primary, and not biological and psychological dispositions.
