Casino Crimes

One area of controversy surrounding the casino is their attitude to crime. Many opponents argue that casinos, casinos contribute to the fight against crime, and some recent studies confirm this. However, economics research, which show a positive relationship between casinos and crime generally does not include visits to populations at risk, when they calculate the level of crime in the area of the casino. These studies thus, the number of crimes committed by visitors, not counting the number of visitors, to the extent of the population, and it overstates the level of crime in casino areas. One reason for this methodology is used, in spite of this, leading to an overestimation of the level of crime is the fact that reliable data on tourist count is often not available.
