- The book is based on a decade of multi-method research encompassing a century of case law and parliamentary records, 111 in-depth interviews with people involved in running and regulating bingo, and extended participant observation into how rules are enacted across England and Wales. The book engages literatures from several disciplines besides law, including political economy, geography, and science and technology studies. It offers the first sociolegal account of an under-researched, but significant and popular, pastime, by exploring the legal and political history of bingo, the regulation of people, and the regulation of products, places, and technologies.
