| Zusammenfassung: | This chapter discusses corporate victimization in the context of the gambling industry, an industry that has proliferated within and across countries in recent decades, including lotteries, casinos/ “racinos,” and online gambling. While some research has looked at the relationship between physical casinos and crime rates and broader connections between the gambling industry and organized crime, these approaches are relatively narrow. This chapter broadens our understanding of the malfeasance of gambling corporations and its impact on victims, drawing attention to the potential conflict of interest inherent for governments who both benefit from and police gambling industries. We discuss five areas of malfeasance, including: the creation of highly addictive games; failing to monitor for, or intervene in, problematic gambling behavior; the violation of self-exclusion agreement; political corruption; and the failure to prevent money laundering. |
