Pathological Gambling

"As states have moved from merely tolerating gambling to running their own games, as communities have increasingly turned to gambling for an economic boost, important questions arise. Has the new age of gambling increased the proportion of pathological or problem gamblers in the U.S. population? Where is the threshold between "social betting" and pathology? Pathological Gambling explores America's experience of gambling."--BOOK JACKET. "This book provides the most up-to-date information available on the prevalence of pathological and problem gambling in the United States. It describes the effects of problem gambling on families, friendships, employment, finances, and propensity to crime."--BOOK JACKET.
