A STUDY ABOUT SAFETY IN FOOTBALL STADIUMS BASED ON BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF INTERNATIONAL LITERATURE.

Abstract

In Brazil and in countries around the world, football, rather than competition or profession constitutes a leisure activity and entertainment. In football, unlike what happens in other cultural events, participation of the people is imbued with passion, that if one hand makes the spectacle even grander when channeled to express joy, can also cause violence and destruction. Currently, the reduction of violence in football stadiums has generated significant concern to the authorities, especially police forces, involved in undertaking actions to reduce risks in football stadiums, but the process lacks scientific status. The aim of this paper is to build on researcher, knowledge about the theme, through the bibliometric analysis of international literature, using the process ProKnow-C (Knowledge Development Process - Constructivist). We searched articles published between 2001 and 2010 in scientific journals available on the website of CAPES. From research resulted a Bibliographic Portfolio with 13 articles, were identified the highlighting journals, articles, authors, keywords on the selected Bibliographic Portfolio. We conclude that the process used provided to researcher the knowledge of the state of the art on the theme, allowing the continuity of research.
