Simpson trial, and the infamous        2004 Pacers-Pistons NBA melee in Detroit involving crowd aggression.        Chapters 5 and 6 examine mental illness and drugs in sport. Chapters 7        through 9 tackle anger management programs, systematic interventions for        athletes, and prevention of sexual violence.      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       Real-world situations presented in the text will engage readers and help        them picture how to use anger management skills in their own lives and        careers.
