Dependency Culture by Hartley Dean (9780745012261)

Description - Dependency Culture by Hartley Dean

This book's emphasis is placed on a critique of victim-blaming terms such as "dependency culture" and "underclass", the relevance of recent social security reforms to current social trends and an alternative approach to welfare dependency. The method of approach is both theoretical and empirical, involving new lines of academic argument and the presentation of original research findings. The book also includes a discussion of the relationship between social security reform and the effects of social change and of current debates about dependency, human need and citizenship.
