It comprises twelve chapters dealing with the terms ‘cruel’, ‘inhuman’ and ‘degrading’ that are used as a benchmark for assessing benefit sanctions; benefit sanctions as a matter of public concern; the historical development of benefit sanctions in the UK; changes in the scope and severity of benefit sanctions; conditionality and the changing relationship between the citizen and the state; the impact and effectiveness of benefit sanctions; benefit sanctions and administrative justice; the role of law in protecting the right to a social minimum; a comparison of benefit sanctions with court fines; benefit sanctions and the rule of law; and what, if anything, can be done about benefit sanctions. Each chapter ends with a paragraph that attempts to highlight the most salient points in that chapter, and the book ends with a short conclusion in which benefit sanctions are assessed against the chosen benchmark.Palgrave Socio-Legal StudiesHuman rightsCriminologySocial justiceWelfare stateSocial workHuman Rights and Crime https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BB020Social Justice, Equality and Human Rightshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33070Politics of the Welfare Statehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33050Human Rightshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19020Social Workhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X21000Human rights.Criminology.Social justice.Welfare state.Social work.Human Rights and Crime .Social Justice, Equality and Human Rights.Politics of the Welfare State.Human Rights.Social Work.368.4400941Adler Michaelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut9174199910299863203321Cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment2057024UNINA
