Since the UK Gambling Act of 2005 was introduced, gambling has
stopped being seen, politically and legally as an inherent vice and
is now viewed as a legitimate form of entertainment. Gambling
Regulation and Vulnerability explores the laws around gambling that
aim to protect society and individuals, examining the differences
between regulatory rhetoric and the impact of legislative and
regulatory measures. Malgorzata Carran finds that although the
Gambling Act introduced many positive changes to gambling
regulation, it has created an environment in which protection of
vulnerable individuals becomes difficult. Carran challenges the
existing legislative premise that regulation alone is able to
balance the effect of liberalisation for those who are vulnerable.
Uniquely, this book?s findings are underpinned by empirical data
from focus groups carried out with children and young people in
secondary schools. The young people interviewed have experienced
the transition from a contained, to liberalised gambling industry
and unless there is a reversal in policy, no comparable empirical
data is ever likely to be collected. This title will appeal to
academics exploring regulation, sociology, and law and society.
Similarly, regulators and those working with the gambling industry
will find this an insightful and illuminating text.
