- This monograph is an output of extended scale and scope, examining the manifold actual, possible and probable interconnections between gambling and crime in the context of the increased availability of wagering activities across many regions of the world. It assesses the impact of the proliferation and propinquity of land-based betting establishments on crime, the role of organised crime in the provision of both licit and illicit forms of gambling, as well as problem gambling, crime and the administration of criminal justice. Links between gambling, sport and corruption and crime relating to internet gambling sites are also examined.
