Reviews

James Gacek, assistant professor, Department of Justice Studies, University of Regina:

Rather than being a resounding final buzzer, Power Played acts as an opening bell, letting the critical conversations about sports, power, and crime begin and play out. It is by far one of the most sophisticated accounts of these intersections yet made available.
