Description

Gambling, Work and Leisure examines the social dimensions of gambling in post-1960 Britain through empirical area surveys conducted in Swansea, Sheffield, Wanstead and Woodford. This Routledge Revivals edition reprints the landmark 1976 study that provided the first substantial evidence assessing gambling as a social phenomenon during a period of rapid expansion in British betting culture. The authors test sociological theories against their findings, exploring the relationships between gambling, work patterns, and leisure activities across different communities. This foundational research offers historical context and analytical frameworks for understanding how gambling became embedded in British social life, making it valuable for sociology students, academics, and those interested in the social history of leisure and gambling in twentieth-century Britain.

Key Features

Gambling, Work and Leisure presents original data from four distinct area surveys conducted across British regions during the 1970s.

The Routledge Revivals edition makes this seminal 1976 sociology text accessible to contemporary scholars studying gambling and social behaviour.

This study examines connections between work, leisure and gambling behaviour, testing established sociological theories against empirical evidence.

The book covers the period following legalisation of off-course cash betting in 1960, documenting the transformation of British gambling culture.

Ideal for sociology, anthropology and social sciences students researching gambling's role in modern leisure and work-life balance.
