Sommario/riassunto |
|
Pathways to Excessive Gambling draws upon extensive empirical research amongst young people and problem gamblers in Australia and compares it with situations in other territories to shed light on social, recreational gambling and the ways in which this can lead to excessive gambling. The results will be significant to social scientists with interests in gambling, young people, social problems, and the sociology of leisure and culture. |
