Description

Explore a foundational sociological study with Gambling, Work and Leisure (Routledge Revivals). This book examines the social landscape of Britain following the 1960 legalisation of off-course cash betting. As various forms of gambling rose in popularity, the nation faced questions regarding whether gambling had become a major social problem. Until this study was published in 1976, there was very little evidence available to assess these claims. The authors provide a detailed analysis using data from specific area surveys conducted in Swansea, Sheffield, Wanstead, and Woodford. By looking at these different locations, the text investigates how sociological theories regarding gambling hold up against real-world findings. This academic work connects the practice of gambling to specific aspects of work and leisure, offering a unique perspective on how these three areas interact. It serves as a vital resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the history of social sciences in Britain.
