Summary:

Media outlets gain attention and raise public concern when they advertise large figures of expected sex crimes during sporting mega events. However, the numbers publicized by media outlets are often questionable and lacking supporting evidence. The case study reviews examples of media publicity and actual figures of sex crimes during sporting mega events. Information is presented to allow students to analyze the responsibility event organizers, host country Brazil and others have during the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games in addressing media coverage and public concern as well as their responsibility in preventing sex crimes during Sporting Mega Events.
