Books by Hartley Dean

This title presents an introduction to social policy through a discussion of welfare rights, which are explored in historical, comparative and critical context.

This book provides an accessible overview of human needs, exploring how they may be translated into rights. It also looks at how social policy can be informed by a politics of human need.

The emphasis of this work is placed on a critique of victim-blaming terms such as "dependency culture" and "underclass", the relevance of recent social security reforms to current social trends and an alternative approach to welfare dependency.
