    Abstract: One of the main justifications used for the expansion of legal gambling is that gambling provides increased revenue to governments and community groups. However, critics argue that the social costs of legal gambling offset these benefits. One particularly controversial social cost of gambling is the impact that gambling has on crime. The academic literature is split with as many studies showing an increase in crime due to gambling as those that show no impact. The current study investigated how increased legal gambling availability has affected crime in Alberta. Four sources of data were examined: self-reports of gambling-related crime among problem gamblers in population surveys; gambling-related crime in police incident reports; uniform crime statistics from Statistics Canada; and criminal offences as recorded by the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC). The most unambiguous findings of this study are that gambling-related crime constitutes a very small percentage of all crime; crime that is gambling related tends to be non-violent property crime; and increased legal gambling availability has significantly decreased rates of illegal gambling. In terms of the impact of legalized gambling on overall crime in Alberta, the evidence would suggest that legalized gambling likely has a minor or negligible impact.

    Abstract: Traditional and Simplified Chinese Abstracts by AsianSTSS Patterns of Smoking and Unhealthy Alcohol Use Following Sexual Trauma Among U.S. Service Members Traditional Chinese 標題: 美國軍人受性創傷後吸煙和不良地使用酒精的模式 撮要: 這是首個縱貫研究, 透過「千禧世代研究(Millennium Cohort Study)」 (2001–2012)的數據, 檢視美國軍人服役時曾遭受性侵犯, 是否跟他們日後不良地使用酒精和抽煙的風險提升相關。已調節的互補雙對數模型(complementary log‐log models)適合用以估計以下相對風險:(一) 戒煙者重新抽煙(男性: n = 4,610; 女性: n = 1,453);(二) 過往並無不良地使用酒精的人, 開始不良地使用酒精 (有酗酒問題和/或過量飲酒) (男性: n = 8,459; 女性: n = 4,816);(三) 過往曾不良地使用酒精的人再度不良地使用酒精(男性: n = 3,487; 女性: n = 1,318)。男性戒煙者中, 曾遭性侵犯的樣本比無此經歷的樣本其再度抽煙的風險高6倍(相對風險 [RR] = 6.62; 95% CI: [2.34, 18.73] );曾不良地使用酒精的女性樣本中, 服役時曾遭性侵犯的樣本比無此經歷的樣本, 再度不良地使用酒精的風險高出近乎兩倍(RR = 1.73; 95% CI [1.06, 2.83])。除此以外, 我們找不到其他顯著關連。結果反映, 男性和女性受性創傷後的反應可能有異。研究亦支持軍隊於未來採取團結的管理政策, 加強預防、偵察和干預性侵犯事件。 Simplified Chinese 标题: 美国军人受性创伤后吸烟和不良地使用酒精的模式 撮要: 这是首个纵贯研究, 透过「千禧世代研究(Millennium Cohort Study)」 (2001–2012)的数据, 检视美国军人服役时曾遭受性侵犯, 是否跟他们日后不良地使用酒精和抽烟的风险提升相关。已调节的互补双对数模型(complementary log‐log models)适合用以估计以下相对风险:(一) 戒烟者重新抽烟(男性: n = 4,610; 女性: n = 1,453);(二) 过往并无不良地使用酒精的人, 开始不良地使用酒精 (有酗酒问题和/或过量饮酒) (男性: n = 8,459; 女性: n = 4,816);(三) 过往曾不良地使用酒精的人再度不良地使用酒精(男性: n = 3,487; 女性: n = 1,318)。男性戒烟者中, 曾遭性侵犯的样本比无此经历的样本其再度抽烟的风险高6倍(相对风险 [RR] = 6.62; 95% CI: [2.34, 18.73] );曾不良地使用酒精的女性样本中, 服役时曾遭性侵犯的样本比无此经历的样本, 再度不良地使用酒精的风险高出近乎两倍(RR = 1.73; 95% CI [1.06, 2.83])。除此以外, 我们找不到其他显着关连。结果反映, 男性和女性受性创伤后的反应可能有异。研究亦支持军队于未来采取团结的管理政策, 加强预防、侦察和干预性侵犯事件。
