Mercy rule: Judge aims to get gambling addicts 'out of chaos' rather than send them to prison

The arbitrator, Sheryl Moss, witnessed the tragicism when he served as the Gambling Court in Nevada. The first case was a grandmother who stole more than $ 500, 000 from the Las Vegas pipe construction company to spur the poisoning of video pokers and slot machines.

In 2013, Jerry Nanne Midor, who had never been fined, confessed theft and was sentenced to four to ten years in prison. She was released for two or five years in women's prison, and was recognized in the state of gambling addiction in the state. The recovery court of distraction is a candidate for a classic prison solution. This is for no n-violent criminals, which are some of the causes of law violations, who are addicted to drugs, alcohol, and gambling.

Midor's story was a whol e-spectacular consciousness. The headline of the paper media was about "gambling grandmother". The public reaction to her release was not sympathetic.

"What a joke!" - And one reader wrote on the Facebook page of Las Vegas Revie w-Journal. "Are you not responsible for your actions?"

"This is a genuine absurdism, it's like seriously gambling for 50 years," another person wrote.

For example, Moss is not counted. A 5 4-yea r-old who lives in New Jersey sees the problematic gambler as a person who is fighting illness, not a moral fallen person. Rather than blaming their delinquency, she is responsible and tries to become a referee who helps her life on track.

"Sometimes you need harsh love," says Moss. "I try to save people from confusion."

In March, hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent on sports activities that will lead to the NCAA tournament through how to bracket pools and individual games. Along with Madness, March is also a month to raise awareness of gambling dilemma. This is a chance to focus on the fact that Mos s-like lawyers are concerned that the current sport s-betting boom will become more difficult.

Moss retired on January 4, but her job has just begun. In the United States, the regulations of sports betting and online casino gambling are expanding, and she wants to transfer gambling courts to other states and return the lon g-term stigma related to gamblers.

"The biggest problem is how to accept gambling addictive patients." They, like alcoholism, are diseases that cannot be controlled by themselves. "

Gambling experts point out that gambling is indeed successful, and quite quickly. They fear that the increase in problem gambling is inevitable and that there is no concrete way to interrupt it.

Since then, there are people who are made of their bets, because there is a game. A percentage of them become addicted to gambling, damaging their personality and society. The more players there are, the more people who become addicted to gambling. This is a lie.

Furthermore, three years ago, Nevada was one state where a legal bazaar of sports rates was conducted. Currently, licensed bookmakers operate in 20 states and the Columbia region, and more jurisdictions are set to connect to the game within this year.

According to the State Gambling Duties Council, the incidence of problem gambling has been measured over the past 10 years, at around 2-3% of the Yankees. In Indiana, where sports rates were allowed in 2019, there was no increase in the number of calls to the hot unit for gambling duties. However, in Tennessee, what a volume and rise in the number of calls referring to sports betting as its own primary form of gambling was observed. Overall, however, it is too early to draw conclusions from the expansion of regulated sports betting in the United States.

Sportsbook operators should introduce ways and methods to inform customers of serious situations for gambling, for example, the possibility of customers excluding themselves from the betting process. As practice shows, limiting the odds of instant bets that encourage compulsive behavior could still be frozen as a step in the right direction, but bookmakers and sports leagues are currently actively promoting betting on games. Be that as it may, there is no vaccine for gaming disorder.

The best layout for sportsbook operators is to freeze the allocation of resources to quickly identify how high-risk groups of customers are getting out of control. And to decide how to contact them, who becomes addicted to gambling and who engages in violations to satisfy their desires. And the courts come to support to argue the case of unnecessary phenomena.

Courts for treating drug addiction have proven their own effectiveness in most states:

- According to a study conducted by the Department of Justice Research Institute in 2012, members of the program's role in treating drug offenders were more likely to commit crimes less violently than a comparison group of such offenders.

-The national liaison committee of drug products discovered that special courts reduce crime rate by 45 % compared to other sentencing, and in fact, members of the target court flowing in the direction of healing drug addiction. The possibility is 6 higher than the members who do not participate in the justice program.
