O ovoj e-knjizi
First published in 1991, Social Security and Social Control (now with a new preface by the author) takes a fresh look at social security policy and demonstrates how the disciplinary effects of social security and relief programmes are more extensive, pervasive, and subtle than is commonly supposed. Based on his academic research, drawing particularly upon the post-structuralist ideas of Foucault, and aided by twelve years’ practical experience as a front-line advice worker at a centre in Brixton, South London, Hartley Dean re-interprets the historical development of the British Poor Laws and the modern social security system. Thus, he provides a new context within which to analyse social security reforms and the significance of poverty as a contemporary phenomenon in advanced western societies. Also included is a unique case study of the Social Security Appeal Tribunal and the development of the tribunal system is presented as a commentary upon the disciplinary mechanisms inherent within the social security system as a whole. The book concludes with a reappraisal of debates of the time about social security policy and alternative social security systems.
Invaluable reading for undergraduates and lecturers in social policy, welfare law, sociology, socio-legal studies, politics, and social history, Social Security and Social Control will also be of particular interest to anyone involved in welfare rights, advice work, or legal services.
