Government Documents on Gambling
Many governmental entities have turned to legalized gambling
as a revenue source preferrable to tax increases on the residents
of a particular area. Gambling revenues are used to finance continually
growing demand for government services. Chosing to legalize
gambling also has a variety of personal and societal costs. Government agencies
charged with enforcing laws and regulations on gambling activities
within their areas of jurisdiction
issue numerous publications and statistics. Purdue Libraries
have a number of these materials with most being in the HSSE or
MEL Libraries. Examples
