The book subjects the largely hidden phenomenon of benefit
sanctions in the UK to sustained examination and critique. 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.
