They certainly have the statistics, but sometimes they will focus on a crime that is more serious, not everyone who commit crimes are related to gambling, so gambling isn't that bad, it's just there are people who really are irresponsible and have become drug addict and they think of committing crime. Usual cause of crime are illegal drugs and alcohol, so gambling is out in the picture because most gamblers are not criminals, meaning people enjoy gambling.
You are right. The government will not waste their time handling someone who doesn't have serious crime, but they can delegate the cases to the officials who have low ranks. I don't say that if someone addict to gambling will commit a crime, some people can do that to other local people. Drugs and alcohol are two serious problems in a city, and many crime cases because of those things.

The government will know how they should react to that, and they will regulate based on their country's situations. Many changes that we don't know about the statistics, so I am sure that the lists will always change in the future. The government wants to use tourism besides gambling to attract more visitors, whether they invite real tourists or gamblers to come to their country.

There are cases like that but I think the majority of the crimes are not related to gambling so even if the government focuses on gambling addiction, there would still be a lot of crimes that are actually bigger than gambling-related crimes happening around them. Also, not all who commits crime uses their money for gambling or any other vices. But for those who do such terrible things for gambling, that's already a result of addiction.
Indeed. But still, perhaps, the government needs to focus on gambling addiction and build a rehabilitation center for the addicted person to gambling. At the same time, the government needs to focus and to try to handle the crimes too. Some people use the money from committing crimes for gambling, but we don't know how many of them. It really needs hard work from the government to control the crime of growth rate.
