Abstract

ABSTRACT Previous studies have suggested that problem gambling is associated with various deviant outcomes. Little research, however, has considered the extent to which such relationships vary by subgroups of the population. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (N = 9,644), this study examines the relationship between problem gambling in young adulthood and a range of deviant behaviors (i.e. binge drinking, marijuana use, instrumental crime, violent crime) and whether these relationships vary by family social class background. Results from logistic regressions reveal that problem gamblers have increased odds of engaging in weekly binge drinking, weekly marijuana use, and any instrumental crime. Furthermore, findings show that the relationship between problem gambling and weekly binge drinking is stronger for those from higher family social class backgrounds, but that the relationship between problem gambling and instrumental crime is stronger for those from lower family social class backgrounds. Implications of these findings are discussed.

问题赌博与越轨行为关系中的社会阶层差异

先前的研究表明，问题赌博与各种偏差结果有关。然而，很少有研究考虑到这种关系在多大程度上因人群的不同而不同。利用国家青少年到成人健康纵向研究(N = 9,644)的数据，本研究探讨了青少年赌博问题与一系列越轨行为(如酗酒、大麻使用、工具性犯罪、暴力犯罪)之间的关系，以及这些关系是否因家庭、社会阶层背景而异。逻辑回归的结果显示，问题赌徒每周酗酒、每周吸食大麻和任何工具性犯罪的几率都有所增加。此外，研究结果表明，问题赌博与每周酗酒之间的关系在家庭社会阶层背景较高的人群中更强，而问题赌博与工具犯罪之间的关系在家庭社会阶层背景较低的人群中更强。讨论了这些发现的意义。

期刊介绍： Criminal Justice Studies, a quarterly refereed journal, publishes articles that deal with substantive criminal justice and criminological issues. The journal welcomes all articles that are relevant to the issue of criminal justice, as well as those that may be outside the field but have relevancy to the topic of criminal justice. Articles that cover public administration, issues of public policy, as well as public affairs issues are welcome. The journal also publishes relevant literature reviews, research notes and summary reports of innovative research projects in criminal justice. Qualitative and quantifiable articles are sought mainly from academics and researchers in the field, though articles from professionals will also be considered.
