Abstract

The objective of this research is to examine the violent and fanatical tendencies of Turkish Football Süperlig team supporters in Ankara, their attitudes towards preventing violence and their views on violence.

A Significant difference was not established between football fans' views on fanaticism and violence on the basis of their gender.

A significant difference was not found with respect to the sub-scale of institutional attachment. According to the fans, one of the primary subjects regarding violence in football that must be highlighted is the level of education of the fans.
