Prevalence of interpersonal violence in sports clubs in Germany
Our findings suggest that sports club members are affected by IV, even at lower levels of performance and across all age groups. Results indicate that experiences of IV inside and outside sports are related, implying an increased risk of revictimization in either context. Individual and sports-specific characteristics need to be discussed as differentiated risk factors to improve prevention.
