Abstract
Benefits and employment services for unemployed people in Britain have always been based on work - related conditions. In recent decades, there has been a change in priority, away from viewing financial support from the state whilst unemployed as a respectable earned entitlement. Instead, policy makers have become mainly concerned with moving people ‘off benefits and into work’ (DWP 2010a; 2010b) by threatening sanctions (temporary withdrawal of essential benefit income) in order to ensure compliance with particular job search requirements.
