Great Britain has the biggest problem concerning football violence, so they have also tried to find ways to tackle the problem. The plan in which they tried to fight against the hooligans was not so easy, because the problem was for the police to find out and to differ between the dangerous Hooligan and the ordinary football supporter.

Personal comment: Es fällt einem schwer nach diesem Buch, psychisch Kranke noch als solche zu sehen. Dieses Buch vermittelt lebensnah, daß in einem kranken Menschen auch eine Seele mit Gefühlen, die auch jeder andere Mensch hat, steckt. Ergreifend wird geschildert, wie Deborah Blau aus ihrem imaginären Königreich Yr, das sie gegen die Umwelt abschirmt, entkommt. Andere psychisch Kranke scheinen in diesem Buch eher die normalsten zu sein. Die Wär ...
