  • Chapter 3: Pathological and Problem Gamblers in the United States The
    Chapter 3: Pathological And Problem Gamblers In The United States The perception of increased pathological and problem gambling is currently driving interest and concern among policymakers, treatment professionals, industry officials, gambling researchers, and the public. Data describing the extent of pathological and problem gambling are useful for many purposes, including planning public health services and medical services. This chapter discusses the prevalence of pathological and problem gamblers among the general U.S. population and specific subpopulations. As limited by the available data, the discussion is often framed in terms of the proportion of pathological and problem gamblers reported in studies of U.S. residents. Of particular concern is determining prevalence among reportedly vulnerable demographic groups, such as men, adolescents, the poor, the elderly, and minorities (including American Indians). We also attempt to examine trends in relation to the increased availability of legal gambling opportunities in the last decade. This chapter also makes comparisons with the prevalence rates of alcohol and drug abusers, to help put the magnitude of excessive gambling and related problems into perspective. LIMITATIONS OF PREVALENCE RESEARCH In Chapter 2 we described the difficulties involved in defining and measuring pathological gambling using various assessment instruments. Here it is important to note that comparing and interpreting prevalence findings is problematic when different studies use different screening and/or diagnostic instruments or criterion levels to measure differing levels of intemperate gambling and associated problems. Unfortunately, such differences are common in the research literature on pathological and problem gambling (Volberg, 1998b) which creates problems in estimating prevalence rates in the United States.

    2014 Annual Report John J. Hoffman, Acting Attorney General of New Jersey This page was intentionally left blank OAG Annual Report Overview Dear Governor Christie, members of the State Legislature and citizens of New Jersey: Greetings. At the Office of the Attorney General, we have a unique role as both New Jersey’s lead law enforcement agency and its chief provider of legal representation to state government. That is, we are a large, multi-faceted crime-fighting agency and a major law firm rolled into one. Our essential mission includes making neighborhoods safer by combating drug dealing, gun violence, gang activity and other criminal threats. It includes prosecuting public corruption and financial crime. It includes preserving civil rights and protecting consumers and investors. But the mission does not end there. We license and regulate the alcoholic beverage industry. We ensure the integrity of New Jersey’s legalized casino gaming and horse racing industries. And we work to ensure the safety of drivers, passengers and pedestrians on our streets and roads. We are responsible for the custody, care and post-custodial supervision of juvenile offenders. We handle, literally, tens of thousands of litigation matters each year that protect children, safeguard the State’s financial assets, preserve our natural resources, ensure the integrity of elections and defend the actions of state government. We assist crime victims, provide emergency management services, work to protect our state from the threat of terror, and handle many other responsibilities as well. One of the nation’s most diverse and populous states, New Jersey is also a hub of national and international commerce, air travel and shipping.
