How Effective Are Benefits Sanctions? An Investigation Into The Effectiveness of The Post-2012 Sanctions Regime For Jobseeker by Oxfam is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This report looks at the application of sanctions in the UK social security system. Sanctions are defined as the reduction or withdrawal of benefits from claimants on the grounds that they have failed to observe the conditions attached to their benefit claim. Whilst successive Governments have increased use of sanctions in the system, the current Government has expanded conditionality criteria and increased the length of sanctions since October 2012.
