Download or read book Pathways to Excessive Gambling written by Charlotte Fabiansson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pathways to Excessive Gambling draws upon extensive empirical research amongst young people and problem gamblers in Australia, comparing it with situations in other territories, to shed light on social, recreational gambling and the ways in which this can lead to excessive gambling. It highlights the relationship between the local community, sports clubs, governments, social recreation, economy and regulation of gambling venues, identifying the social indicators that typify situations which commonly lead to excessive gambling. By developing a 'society-based' perspective, this volume recognizes problem gambling as an issue for the whole society rather than just the individual, focusing on the availability of gambling and identifying its capacity, as a construct, to encourage or restrict the behaviour of the individual. As such, this book will be of significance to social scientists with interests in gambling, young people, social problems, and the sociology of leisure and culture.

Download or read book The Social Cost of Gambling to Victoria written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study assesses the social costs associated with gambling in Victoria in financial terms. After conducting a systematic and targeted review of prior attempts to quantify the cost of gambling, the study estimates the costs in 2014-15 terms, with reference to financial, emotional and psychological impacts on gamblers and their families; relationships and family; crime and the justice system; productivity loss and work impacts; and costs to the Victorian Government. Unlike many previous studies, this study also includes low-risk and moderate-risk gamblers, not just problem gamblers. The findings indicate that the major components of the cost of gambling are borne by gamblers themselves and those around them. Of the estimated $7 billion in costs, $2.2 billion concerns family and relationship problems, $1.6 billion concerns emotional and psychological issues, and $1.3 billion concerns financial losses.

Download or read book Case Studies on Corporations and Global Health Governance written by Nora Kenworthy and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-07-18 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is growing evidence of the wide-ranging impacts of corporations in selected industries on global patterns of health and disease. However, limited analysis has been undertaken of the increasing corporate involvement in collective action needed to effectively address these impacts. This book brings together a wide ranging collection of case studies that provide new empirical research on how corporations impact on, influence of, and could be held more accountable to, global health governance. Written by leading and emerging scholars from a broad range of disciplinary perspectives, each case study seeks to expand the methods, conceptual approaches and sources of data used to address three key questions: What impacts are corporations having on global health governance? How do corporations shape and influence global health governance in ways that protect and promote their own interests? What forms of global health governance are needed to mediate these corporate impacts in ways that protect and promote population health? Also, for a practical guide on how to conduct research on the impact of corporations on global health and global health governance, see the partner volume: http://www.rowmaninternational.com/books/researching-corporations-and-global-health-governance
