Violating trust: a study of court verdicts in cases of gambling-driven economic crimes in the workplace

Figures & data

Figure 1. Flowchart of the identification of 62 cases of PG-driven crimes committed in workplaces or NPOs. (Note: the shift from 321 verdicts to 282 cases is because some cases had been judged in both a district court and a court of appeal; for our study, we combined the information from these verdicts.).

Figure 2. Age distribution, men and women, cases in this study compared with national statistics on convictions in district courts, for all kinds of crimes, 2014–2018.

Figure 3. Previous criminality among the cases in this study, compared with national crime statistics of the same five-year period (2014–2018), on number of previous convictions in the past ten years for all kinds of crimes.
