Welfare conditionality, linking citizens' eligibility for social benefits and services to prescribed compulsory responsibilities or behaviours, has become a key component of welfare reform in many nations. 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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49744389144849,"sku":"NGR9781447343738","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52990413799697,"sku":"NIN9781447343738","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1447343735.jpg?v=1751084321"},{"product_id":"women-and-welfare-conditionality-book-sharon-wright-9781447347736","title":"Women and Welfare Conditionality","description":"Winner of SPA Richard Titmuss Prize 2024.

The book showcases the insights and findings of a series of distinct, independent studies undertaken by early career researchers associated with the ESRC funded Welfare Conditionality project. Each chapter presents a new empirical analysis of data generated in fieldwork conducted with practitioners charged with interpreting and delivering policy, and welfare service users who are at the sharp end of welfare services shaped by behavioural conditionality.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52606031659281,"sku":"NLS9781447341826","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781447341826.jpg?v=1761260038"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/welfare-conditionality-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
