Social Policy – Sociologists

Donzelot Conflict between families/the state.
Doctors/social workers/ teachers are a form of
‘surveillance’ to monitor families, and to punish
those seen as ‘dysfunctional’. Aimed at w/c
families.
New Labour Policies help families out. Don’t encourage
‘dependency’.

Policies 1998 National Minimum Wage Act
2001 New Deal for Lone Parents
Functionalist State acts in interest of society. March of Progress.

Ronald Fletcher Policies help families to perform better – e.g. NHS
helps family to take care of the sick.
Marxist Policies serve capitalism – minimum pension for
non-workers. No March of Progress, improvements
won through class struggle.
Feminist Policies reinforce patriarchy – benefit policies
assume husbands earn more, women financially
dependent.
Leondard
Maternity leave benefits women, reinforces
responsibility over child.
1984 New Right - Murray Underclass. Policies weaken family’s self-reliance.
Benefits reward antisocial behaviour. Gangs/crime.

Nazi Germany – pure family policy – 400,000 disabled sterilised.
