Résumé
La commission de délits est un facteur de risque bien établi du trouble lié aux jeux de hasard et d’argent (TJHA). Parmi les délits retrouvés, ce sont davantage les délits de nature financière que les autres types de délits qui sont associés au TJHA; ceux-ci survenant bien souvent dans l’optique de financer les habitudes de JHA. Toutefois, il ressort des études récentes que différents types de délits peuvent être commis par les joueurs et joueuses, sans que ceux-ci soient décrits comme étant en lien avec les habitudes de jeu problématiques. Afin de dresser un meilleur portrait du lien délit/JHA, onze personnes ayant suivi un traitement pour leurs habitudes de JHA problématiques et ayant commis au moins un délit judiciarisé à l’âge adulte ont été questionnées sur leur parcours de jeu et la place occupée par les délits commis. Les analyses déductive et inductive révèlent que la gamme de délits commis par les joueurs et joueuses problématiques est plus variée que seulement des délits financiers. Les personnes participant·à l’étude révèlent des liens entre les habitudes JHA et des délits liés aux drogues et aux stupéfiants alors que d’autres ont commis des délits financiers qui n’étaient pas liés à leurs habitudes de JHA. Incidemment, la nature du délit commis ne serait pas garante du lien avec les habitudes de JHA. Il semble donc important de poursuivre la recherche afin de mieux comprendre les différents liens existants entre les délits commis et les JHA en portant une attention plus grande aux délits autres que financiers.

Abstract
The commission of offences is a well-known risk factor for pathological gambling. Gambling’s problems are more closely linked to committing financial crimes, which are frequently used to fund gambling habits. However, recent research demonstrates that gamblers may commit many forms of offences, although these are not described in relation to problem gambling. To gain a better understanding of these relationships, eleven gamblers who had been in treatment for problem gambling and had committed at least one court-ordered offence were interviewed about their gambling history and the extent to which they had committed offences. Both deductive and inductive analysis show that pathological gamblers commit a wider variety of offences than just financial offences. Participants reveal links between JHA habits and drug related infractions while others commit financial infractions unrelated to their JHA habits. In addition, the nature of the crime would not guarantee a link with JHA tendencies. It shows that it is important to continue research in order to better understand the various connections between offences committed and JHA, with a focus on non-financial offences.

Resumen
La comisión de delitos es un factor de riesgo bien establecido de la problemática relacionada con los juegos de azar y de dinero (TJHA). Los delitos que aparecen con mayor frecuencia que los demás delitos relacionados con los TJHA son los de naturaleza financiera, a menudo en la perspectiva de financiar los hábitos del juego de azar y por dinero. Sin embargo, surge de estudios recientes que los jugadores y jugadoras pueden cometer diferentes tipos de delitos, sin que los mismos se describan como relacionados con las costumbres problemáticas en el juego. Con el objetivo de establecer una mejor descripción de la relación entre delito y juegos de azar y por dinero, once personas, que habían sido tratadas por sus hábitos en este tipo de juego y que habían cometido por lo menos un delito judicializado en la edad adulta, fueron cuestionadas sobre su trayectoria de juego y el lugar ocupado por los delitos cometidos. Los análisis deductivos e inductivos revelan que la gama de delitos cometidos por los jugadores y jugadoras problemáticos no se limitan solamente a delitos financieros. Algunos participantes revelaron una relación entre los hábitos de juego de azar y por dinero y los delitos vinculados con las drogas y los estupefacientes mientras que otros han cometido delitos financieros que no estaban relacionados a sus hábitos de juego de azar y por dinero. Por cierto, la naturaleza del delito cometido no sería garante de la relación con los hábitos de juego de azar y por dinero. Parece importante entonces proseguir la investigación para comprender mejor las diferentes relaciones existentes entre los delitos cometidos y los juegos de azar y por dinero, prestando mayor atención a los delitos que no son financieros.
