Résumé :
Americans spend more money on gambling each year than on movie tickets, recorded music, theme parks, spectator sports, and video games combined. This text looks at the growth of gambling, arguing that problem gambling should be considered an issue of public health and addressed accordingly. The book is divided into six chapters: 1. Introduction; 2. What Is Problem Gambling?; 3. Legal Gambling and the Emergence of Problem Gambling; 4. What is the Extent of Problem Gambling?; 5. Addressing Problem Gambling; 6. The Policy Challenges.
