The role of sports practice in the social reintegration of juvenile delinquency

Sports practice is considered one of the most important mechanisms and means adopted by many societies today as an alternative culture to break the daily routine and renew the spirit. This is due to the various positive aspects of sports culture that impact different areas of an individual's life—physically, psychologically, and socially—especially for those who exhibit deviant behavior in society. Practicing sports helps individuals transition into a broader, more dynamic and energetic space. Scientific evidence supports this, as practical experiments confirm the importance of engaging in various physical activities due to their positive impact on multiple aspects of life. This is particularly true for delinquent individuals, who are among the most important social groups that should be integrated into society by raising their awareness about the benefits of sports practice, as they are a human category that requires support and social care. Accordingly, this research paper aims to explore the role of sports practice in the social reinte-gration of deviant individuals, considering it as one of the social approaches that can assist this group in integrating naturally into society.
