In his comprehensive exploration,Ian Cummins delves into the intricate dynamics of shifting attitudes towards penal and welfare systems. Spanning from Margaret Thatcher's initial cabinet to the era of austerity politics and culminating in New Labour, the book unveils the ideological transformations that have shaped successive governments' approach to reinforcing their penal powers. Through a meticulous analysis, it sheds light on how the pervasive "tough on crime" messages have permeated various domains of social policy, fostering the emergence of a neoliberal political economy, promoting hostile attitudes towards the social state, and perpetuating stigma for individuals grappling with poverty. This seminal work serves as a vital contribution to the ongoing discourse surrounding the intricate and interconnected issues of welfare and punishment, offering a profound understanding of the complex interplay between these two critical spheres of society.
