The process of making this decision requires consideration of the many factors that will have an impact on the quality of life if gambling is permitted. No one would deny that this is a decision that will have wide and deep ramifications lasting for decades – with an impact not confined to Sullivan County, but affecting adjoining communities as well. One of the many factors that must be considered is the impact that permitting casino gambling will have on crime. Is it predictable that crime will increase in Sullivan County should casino gambling be permitted? If there is an increase, what sorts of crime or crimes will rise? Will only Sullivan County be affected or will adjoining communities also experience an increase in criminal activity? Will any rise in crime be merely the result of the inevitable increase in tourism or are there characteristics uniquely associated with gambling that will trigger particular types of crime? What has been the experience of other communities that have permitted gambling? Specifically, this report examines the impact on crime experienced by other communities during the first decade or so after they have permitted gambling. It does not, at this stage, make projections about what Sullivan County should anticipate. It does, however, examine what has occurred in other communities within the first years after introducing gambling and offers that as guidance as to what Sullivan County - and its neighboring communities - can anticipate.

Author: Nichols, Mark W. Title: The Impact of Legalized Casino Gambling on Crime Summary: We examine the impact of legalized casino gambling, including Indian casinos, on crime. Using county-level data between 1994 and 2009, the impact that casino legalization had on crime is examined. Our results show an increase in crime associated with casinos in some circumstances, but not others. Crime impact results are quite sensitive to data, sample periods and econometric specifications. In addition to known Part 1 offenses (assault, burglary, larceny, robbery, rape, and auto theft), we also examine various arrest classifications, including driving under the influence (DUI), fraud, and prostitution. Again, casinos are associated with a statistically significant increase in some circumstances but not in others, with results depending on econometric specification. In no circumstances, however, are casinos and crime significantly negatively correlated. Details: Bonn, Germany: Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA), 2013. 24p.
