Young Ho Kim, Ph.D. student in the School of Kinesiology, has had a paper accepted for publication in the Korean Journal of Sociology of Sport. The paper, “Conceptualization and Analysis of Interpretative Perspectives of Sport Corruption Through Literature Review: Agreement and Difference,” examines how sport corruption is conceptualized and analyzes the different interpretative perspectives of sport corruption in certain sport organizations and society. In order to conceptualize sport corruption, prefigured technical strategy, an analysis strategy discussed by Crabtree and Miller (1992), was used. Prefigured categories are classified as competition sport corruption and management sport corruption, discussed by Maenning (2006). In order to analyze how types of sport corruption in the prefigured categories are interpreted differently in sport organizations and society, Luo’s (2004) characteristics of corruption was used as a theoretical frame.

Young is advised by Michael G. Wade, Ph.D., and Rayla Allison, JD.
