Review

"This is a major landmark in qualitative longitudinal research. The rich, compelling accounts reveal how flawed policy processes can blight lives. If ever there was a case for an overhaul of the British welfare system, this is it." Bren Neale, University of Leeds"The theory, practice and ethics of conditionality in welfare clearly explained and rigorously assessed. Read this excellent book to learn about the experience of sanctions and the wider policy context." Jane Millar, University of Bath"Future welfare state historians will see this book as an artefact of an era when something went very wrong in the relationship between the UK state and its citizens." Mark Simpson, Ulster University

This book uses qualitative longitudinal data from repeat interviews with people subject to compulsion and sanction in their everyday lives to analyse the effectiveness and ethicality of welfare conditionality in promoting and sustaining behaviour change in the UK. Given the negative outcomes that welfare conditionality routinely triggers, this book calls for the abandonment of these sanctions and reiterates the importance of genuinely supportive policies that promote social security and wider equality.
