Preferred term

hooliganism  

Definition

  • Hooliganism refers to a form of social deviance. It has, probably more than any other term in this respect, developed such a connection to sport, and particularly football, that “football hooligan” and “hooligan” have for some become virtually interchangeable. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Deviance; Hooliganism]
