More about the book
Focusing on the evolution of penal and welfare systems, Ian Cummins examines the ideological shifts from Thatcher's government through New Labour to austerity politics. The study highlights how the "tough on crime" rhetoric has permeated various social policies, reinforcing penal powers and fostering a neoliberal political climate. It critiques the resulting stigmatization of impoverished individuals and emphasizes the intricate relationship between welfare and punishment, contributing significantly to ongoing debates in these areas.
