Abstract

This article analyses how national sport federations (NSF) in organised sport in Germany respond to sport-related political requirements to develop a comprehensive policy for the prevention of sexual violence. Referring to theoretical approaches of self-governance of organisations, data was collected from a quantitative online survey with all NSFs and qualitative interviews with their ‘commissioners for the prevention of sexualised violence’. Findings reveal the vital role of the position of commissioners and a high relevance of socio-structural capacities of the organisation for a comprehensive prevention policy.
