True.
Gambling addiction is linked to increased criminal behavior (theft, embezzlement, fraud, robbery, and sometimes violent or domestic incidents) as individuals seek money to continue gambling or cover debts. Research and case data show problem gambling can raise local rates of these offenses, though the size and nature of the effect vary by context and are influenced by other social and economic factors.
