The Observer has found that seven new departments want to enact similar rules in 2023, adding to the current 10 departments that currently question detainees about their gambling addictions. In addition, you should ask them about their use of alcohol and drugs.

The annual cost of crimes associated with drugs and alcohol is estimated by the UK authorities to be £13.9 billion.

It is a good development on the part of UK police to start minitoring the gambling activities in the country. This would provide opportunity for them to start studying all problems associating with gambling and find ways of tackling it.
 
It is not a deniable fact that there are many crimes that have been associated with gambling. So I won't be surprised that the UK police are setting to take this as a challenge which may reduce the crime.

It is becoming increasingly recognized that problem gambling can have negative effects on individuals and communities, including contributing to crime. As a result, some police forces in the UK are now checking for signs of problem gambling when they encounter individuals involved in criminal activity.
