Research On The Types Of Gambling Crime

Gamble harms people's health and impairs the stability of society. However, the research about the types of gambling crime in our country is comparatively weak, as well as the criminal legislation is backward, leading to many disputes in judicial practice, so we shall discuss it thoroughly. Gambling has dual characters, on the one hand its entertaining satisfies people, on the other hand it acts against social morality which may easily lead to crimes. So there are many disputes whether the gambling should be criminalized or decriminalized. As every country has their own standpoint on gambling behavior and gambling crime, the types of gambling crime are different in their criminal law. Civil law countries generally provide against the crime of gambling, including common gambling crimes, gambling in group, setting casinos and aggregating gambling crime. In china, there are three types of gambling crime, gambling in group, setting casinos and living on gambling. The common gambling behavior isn't considered as gambling crime in our country, but included in security management. We should pay attention to the same characteristics between gambling in group and setting casinos while the casino is controllable. We shall exactly indentify the behaviors between acts and nonfeasance in setting casino on internet. Living on gambling must be criminalized for the sake of our country. The type of gambling crime is multiple, on the contrary the criminal law of it in our country is so simple, and there are many disputes in judicial practice which suggests the deficiencies in legislation. Taking the applicability of judicial practice into consideration, combining the situations of our country and experience of foreign countries, the criminal law needs to be perfected in the crime corpus, the articles structure and penalty constitutions.
