My research interests centre around gambling addiction. I am interested in the etiology, prevalence, and prevention of disordered gambling.
One aspect of gambling that I am currently studying is the relationship between gambling and crime. The prevalence of disordered gambling in offender populations is 10 or more times higher than in the general population.
