商品簡介
This Second Edition is greatly expanded from the First Edition. Four new chapters are added to summarise the authors' collected research work on doping. Crime and NO Punishment is a rare and intellectually sharp contribution to the literature on doping, sport, and strategic behaviour. Rather than approaching doping as a moral, medical, or purely regulatory issue, Haugen and co-authors treat it as what it fundamentally is: a strategic interaction shaped by incentives, competition, and human rationality. The result is a book that is both academically rigorous and surprisingly readable. Crime and NO Punishment is one of the most insightful and original works on doping ever published. It reframes the entire debate by showing that doping is not primarily a moral failure but a structural inevitability in competitive environments. The second edition strengthens the book's position as a foundational text in the economics of sport. For scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding why doping persists - and why it is so difficult to eradicate - this book is essential reading.
