Criminalizing Race, Criminalizing Poverty - Welfare Fraud Enforcement in Canada

The criminalization and penalization of poverty through increased surveillance and control of welfare recipients has led many poverty advocates to claim that "a war against the poor" is in progress. This book argues that people of colour are most often the casualties in the governments' desire to roll back the welfare state.
