Caseworkers Reflections on Welfare Surveillance
From: Ineligble
$3.70
This chapter explores how caseworkers are situated in the welfare surveillance apparatus. Caseworkers embody surveillance, which is shaped by the sociocultural and political values of society and their workplaces. The process of surveilling is not neutral and detached; it is a constant negotiation and process.
