초록
The last two decades have witnessed an increased emphasis on fraud within, and cost effectiveness of the Social Security system. British Government’s five year programme against fraud and abuse advocated projects such as utilising new technology, increased cross-checking of claims, targeted reviews of ongoing claims, the increased use of home visits to new claimants and investigation of employers. However, it is this paper’s contention that responses to benefit fraud have been inappropriate. This in-appropriateness arises from perceptions about benefit recipients and their reasons for engaging in fraudulent activity. Benefit recipients are stereo typically seen as scrounging/taking from the State and thus the taxpayer. Therefore benefit fraudsters have been punished for their greed. This paper would show that these perceptions, and thus, the penalties employed when dealing with benefit fraudsters are inappropriate and in some instances may serve only to exacerbate the problem of benefit fraud.
Abstract
The last two decades have witnessed an increased emphasis on fraud within, and cost effectiveness of the Social Security system. British Government’s five year programme against fraud and abuse advocated projects such as utilising new technology, increased cross-checking of claims, targeted reviews of ongoing claims, the increased use of home visits to new claimants and investigation of employers. However, it is this paper’s contention that responses to benefit fraud have been inappropriate. This in-appropriateness arises from perceptions about benefit recipients and their reasons for engaging in fraudulent activity. Benefit recipients are stereo typically seen as scrounging/taking from the State and thus the taxpayer. Therefore benefit fraudsters have been punished for their greed. This paper would show that these perceptions, and thus, the penalties employed when dealing with benefit fraudsters are inappropriate and in some instances may serve only to exacerbate the problem of benefit fraud.
