De voetbalsector is nog steeds kwetsbaar voor witwaspraktijken en andere vormen van financieel-economische criminaliteit. In dit artikel wordt nader ingegaan op de resultaten en achtergronden van het antiwitwasbeleid van de afgelopen 15 jaar. Geconcludeerd wordt dat de vrije zelfregulering niet effectief is gebleken om een dam op te werpen tegen de instroom van crimineel geld en dat actieve bemoeienis van de overheid vereist is. Het artikel sluit af met drie opties voor – onderbrenging in de WWFT; vergunningplicht en bestuurlijke integriteitstoetsing en geconditioneerde zelfregulering met wettelijke randvoorwaarden – verscherpte regulering en toezicht van de witwaspreventie in het professionele voetbal.
BackgroundGiven the importance of the first 1000 days of a child’s life in terms of laying the foundations for healthy growth and development, parents are a logical target group for supporting health-related practices with regard to young children. However, little attention is paid to the influence of the wider social community on the health and development of young children during this crucial period. This includes grandmothers, who often have a significant influence on health-related practices of their grandchildren. The aim of this study was therefore to explore the influence of grandmothers on health related practices of their grandchildren during the first 1000 days, from the perspectives of both grandmothers and mothers with a Turkish background.MethodThis qualitative study in the Netherlands collected data during focus group discussions with grandmothers (N = 3), interviews with grandmothers (N = 18) and interviews with mothers (N = 16), all with a Turkish background. Data was collected in the period between June 2019 and April 2021 and analysed using a thematic content analysis.ResultsThe influence of grandmothers and the wider social community on health related practices during the first 1000 days of a child’s life is substantial and self-evident. The support of grandmothers is often rooted in various socio-cultural norms and practices. The mothers of young children can experience the guidance and pressure they receive from grandmothers and the wider social community as quite stressful. Conflicting views and practices tend to arise between grandmothers and mothers when a grandmother babysits. Both mothers and grandmothers often find it difficult to discuss these differences openly, for fear this might lead to a family conflict.ConclusionThis study shows that grandmothers and the wider social community play an influential role in supporting a healthy first 1000 days of a child’s life. The strong involvement of grandmothers may lead to tension between the mothers and grandmothers when their ideas about healthy practices are not in agreement and may lead to unhealthy practices. In targeting this wider social community, it is important to consider the various socio-cultural factors that underlie the advice, support, practices and beliefs of the individuals involved.
I am proud to present the preface I wrote for Silvio Lorusso’s book, which came out in November 2018, in Italian, published by Krisis Publishing in Brescia, Italy.
