Mapping the Welfare Surveillance Apparatus
From: Ineligble
$2.10
This chapter is primarily descriptive, drawing on content analysis the author conducted on the Ontario Works Act, 1997 regulations and directives, as well as informal and formal interviews with OW senior management, policy analysts, and case managers. This chapter tackles the nuts and bolts that structure the welfare surveillance apparatus, which refers to the interconnected systems of surveillance — whether policy and bureaucracy, home visits, and even community surveillance — encompassing both state and non-state actors.
