The Dangerous Expansion of Gambling and the Debate We Should Be Having
Autor(en): 
Jim Orford
Verlag: 
Wiley, J

Accessibly written and based on the latest research, this book tackles a key issue in contemporary society. Pulling no punches, addiction authority Jim Orford presents evidence that gambling represents a serious danger to public health due to its potential addictiveness. Exposing the insidious manner in which gambling has been cast as a business 'service' and gamblers as responsible 'consumers,' he argues that the government, the gambling industry and others who have become complicit in gambling expansion are downplaying a real danger. The result is a critical examination of current policy and suggestions for future policy.
