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.

Praise for this book

'The study provides a welcome emphasis on the social and public health dimensions of problem gambling in Australia, moving beyond the traditional focus on the individual to consider its wider community impacts'. Gerda Reith, University of Glasgow, UK '... a useful and interesting read including but not limited to students, researchers, regulators and industry operators. The sociological approach taken is easy to read and follow...The broad scope and reliance on evidence make it a useful reference volume and direction for further literature.'
