From Poverty to Punishment: How Welfare Reform Punishes the Poor consists of progressive social policy essays describing how social and legislative policies have reversed the social safety net philosophy to a work at all cost philosophy. It describes how conservative policy-making and image manipulation have basically criminalized poverty. It gives a background of welfare policy, assesses its current state, and offers a powerful debate on where the fight against poverty needs to go.
