Problem Gambling in Europe Challenges, Prevention, and
Interventions Edited by Gerhard Meyer, University of Bremen,
Germany Tobias Hayer, University of Bremen, Germany Mark Griffiths,
Nottingham Trent University, United Kingdom As a leisure activity,
gambling dates back to ancient times. More recently, the surge in
avenues for gambling-casinos, sports betting, lotteries, and remote
media (e.g.,Internet, mobile phone, interactive television) among
them-finds growing numbers of people losing control over their
gambling behaviour, usually at great personal and financial
expense. Problem Gambling in Europe is the first book to offer a
robust international knowledge base compiled by an
interdisciplinary panel of researchers in gambling behaviour.
Reports from 21 countries throughout Western, Eastern, Northern,
and Southern Europe reveal wide variations in types of wagering
activities, participation by populations, social and criminal
consequences related to pathological gambling, the extent to which
governments acknowledge the problem, and efforts to control it
(often with the involvement of the gaming industries). For each
country, noted experts discuss: Current legislation regulating
gambling. Forms of gambling and their addictive potential.
Participation rates and demographics. Prevalence of pathological
gambling. National policies to address problem gambling. Prevention
strategies and treatment methods. Problem Gambling in Europe brings
insight and clarity to a widespread and complex phenomenon, and
will be of considerable interest to all parties working to reduce
their negative effects: social science researchers in addictions,
gambling behaviour, and public health; clinical, social, and health
psychologists and psychiatrists; treatment practitioners; the
gaming industry; regulators; and policy makers.
In der Expertise wird der internationale wissenschaftliche
Kenntnisstand zur Effektivitat verschiedener Massnahmen des
Spieler- und Jugendschutzes in Form eines systematischen Reviews
zusammengestellt. Im Fokus stehen dabei die seit 2012 geltenden
verhaltens- und verhaltnispraventiven Massnahmen des
Glucksspielstaatsvertrages. Zudem finden Interventionen
Berucksichtigung, die im internationalen Kontext
Wirksamkeitsnachweise erbracht haben, bislang jedoch noch nicht in
die deutsche Gesetzgebung eingeflossen sind. Aus der systematischen
Zusammenstellung der empirischen Befundlage fur jede einzelne
Intervention ergeben sich insgesamt 16 Handlungsempfehlungen mit
Relevanz fur Politik, Praxis und Forschung.
