    We examined the connection between gambling and crime with the participation of 175 prisoners from four Hungarian prisons. We used the South Oaks Gambling Screen test to measure gambling behaviour before a prison sentence. We compared our results to our previous research findings of 2009 and 2014. From our 10-year-long perspective, the number of problematic gamblers has reduced in the Hungarian penal system in the past years, but the dilemma is still essential. Feminization, the appearance of gambling-addict women in a significant number, is also a trend we would like to pay attention to. We found 28 per cent of problematic gamblers in the prison population, but only less than half of them said that the reason for their conviction is in connection with gambling. Furthermore, gambling addiction is associated with other addictions in many cases.

    In their fifth sustainability management case study, the authors examine the focus, organizational processes, and operation of TESCO's responsibility and community activities in Hungary. On the one hand they executed analyses of publicly available company reports and internal documents, while on the other hand, they conducted semi-structured interviews with internal and external experts who play a key role in the added CSR activities. In addition to the descriptive presentation of the activities, the authors' work points out that there are many crutial organizational conditions for the effective management of organizational processes related to sustainability and communities, furthermore they highligted the possibilities and limitations of involving external parties and service providers, as well. The value of the case study is enhanced by the fact that no comprehensive case study presenting the sustainability activities of the leading domestic food retail companies has been published recently.
