dc.description.abstractThis chapter addresses neglect, or the violence that results when a person with responsibilities or a duty of care over a young person fails to act on that responsibility or duty. Neglect is characterised as acts of omission. Several forms of neglect are described in this chapter, including physical neglect, supervisory neglect, educational neglect, and emotional neglect. Neglect is the most common form of child maltreatment outside of sport and yet is understudied in the context of sport. Of two Canadian prevalence studies of violence in sport, both revealed high rates of neglect, similar to those found with psychological violence. Examples of reported experiences of neglect include unequal treatment and a lack of attention to injury, exhaustion, and academic needs. The nature and scope of experiences of neglect in sport remain an important area for further research.en_US
