Are We Gambling With The Youth In Our Society?

Abstract

With easier access to the Internet more people are also able to access to forms of gambling, even before they are old enough. Gambling is also being promoted more than ever through media, parents, and videogames. According to previous studies, gambling habits have been correlated with deviant behaviors such as drug abuse, unemployment, skipping school, and can lead to further dependency on gambling later in life. The purpose of this study was to analyze such trends and display what implications the findings have on society.
