Unstacking the odds: Towards positive interventions at the intersection of gambling and crime
The purpose of this Issues Paper is to build on the CIJ’s, 2017 report 'Compulsion, convergence or crime', by highlighting relevant literature and case law which has emerged since this 2017 work was conducted.
Just as importantly, it also seeks to highlight benefits associated with a pilot program conducted by the CIJ since the 2017 report’s release which, with the assistance of the Inside Access program at the Mental Health Legal Centre (MHLC), delivered financial counselling services to women in Dame Phyllis Frost Centre (DPFC) maximum security women’s prison from August 2019 to June 2020.
