Description
Welfare and Punishment: From Thatcherism to Austerity explores the shifting attitudes towards penal and welfare systems in the UK. The book examines how successive governments have reinforced their powers, spreading 'tough on crime' messages into other areas of social policy.
This analysis reveals how neoliberal ideology has influenced approaches to the social state, creating stigma for those living in poverty. As a result, the complex issues of welfare and punishment become increasingly intertwined.
