中文摘要 | 由於對澳門經濟的巨大利益和影響力,賭博所帶來的負面影響似乎可被接受,人們相 信賭博被置於政府的“控制”和“監管”之下,因此不會是“壞”。澳門回歸前,圍繞賭場的暴 力事件和謀殺案都減少了,然而,與賭博有關的犯罪卻轉向不被看見的財務和金融方面,亦衍生 出一系列由賭場文化支撐和催化的“惡習”。這些不良角色、行為和結果甚至可能跨越行政管轄 的邊界,卻沒有“違法”,或介於“違法”與“不違法”之間。 |
英文摘要 | This is a review article of research published in English that focuses specifically on casino-related crime in Macau, the largest venue for legalized gambling in the world. Above all, it suggests rich possibilities for further research into the globally relevant, yet locally specific features of this Special Administrative Region of China. Following studies that identify residents’ perceptions of how their once-quiet enclave has changed under the impact of recent phenomenal growth in the casino industry, it includes discussion, not just of crimes, but of a range of undesirable roles, acts and outcomes currently supported and encouraged by Macau’s casino culture and its position as a border state of China. A structural tension is identified between gambling as the main source of government revenue and the need to control and enforce regulation of unsavory acts and their consequences, both legal and illegal. It presents a typology of socially defined roles and processes within this environment that permit such activities to continue even across, and sometimes because of, the borders of different governmental jurisdictions. |
