Commission on Crime and Problem Gambling
Research commissions
The Commission on Crime and Problem Gambling aims to answer the following questions:
- What are the links between crime and problem gambling?
- What impact does this link have on communities and society?
- What should be done?
To support this work the Howard League will be commissioning research. It has been agreed that the first pieces of research will focus on
- Sentencers’ understanding and treatment of problem gamblers
- The lived experience of people through life course analysis of people who have been sent to prison self-reporting as problem gamblers
- The prevalence of problem gambling among those committing crimes
The research commissions are advertised separately. Please register your interest in receiving information about the research commissions by emailing Anita Dockley.
