Christchurch reported to have most gambling-related crimes
Chief executive John Stainsfield says the foundation has been monitoring reports of crime in the country. He says the number of gambling facilities in Christchurch is one of the problems. Mr Stainsfield says operators need to take more responsibility, but the community also needs to recognise the signs of problem gambling. He says the city council's decision not to lift a moratorium on new pokie machines is a victory for the 2,000 submitters who opposed the move.
