“…As one job seeker puts it, 'people should be treated as people -they have the right to choose'. The value placed on non-material rewards by DES clients is consistent with other Australian and international studies (see Nevile, 2008Nevile, , 2009. Like stewardship theory, co-production recognises that building self-esteem and activity directed towards achieving organisational goals depend on positive assistance, which is in line with clients' intrinsic motivations (Alford, 2009: 133), but, unlike stewardship theory, co-production allows for a mix of incentives and sanctions, which 'suggests how coercion might be properly situated in relation to voluntary exchange' (Alford, 2009: 218).…”

As governments move from being both a funder and provider of human services to a purchaser of services in private sector markets or quasi-markets, ensuring that providers do what they are supposed to do becomes more difficult. Agency theory and stewardship theory have been suggested as ways of overcoming this problem. This article argues that both are inadequate, particularly because they conceptualise the relationship as bilateral (government funding department and service provider), ignoring the role of clients in achieving organisational objectives. Co-production that recognises the role played by clients in the production of employment outcomes can provide a more useful way of thinking about relationships among key actors involved in the provision of employment services.

“…However, this analysis could be expanded to other areas, for example, institutional racism in the provision of health care and subsequent deaths in custody; education and the problem of the 'school to prison pipeline' where suspensions and expulsions from school lead to greater interventions by the criminal justice systems; and policies related to income management and social security where regulatory surveillance is a condition of receiving social services and can involve criminal or civil penalties. Many of these problems are associated with the rise of welfare conditionality which imposes extra burdens on the most vulnerable people (Nevile, 2008).…”

This article focusses on systemic and institutionalised racism against Indigenous people as a contemporary feature of the Australian social and penal landscape, and its implications for justice. There has been ongoing concern with institutional racism within the criminal justice system, however, this article concentrates on the intersection between institutional racism in non-criminal justice settings and their compounding effect on criminalization. Despite legal prohibitions on racial discrimination, various forms of institutional racism continue unabated. Indeed, part of the argument is that broader political changes particularly associated with the influence of neoliberalism on social policy have exacerbated the problem of institutional racism and redefined and reinforced the link between welfare and criminalization. Indeed, social welfare has come to be informed by the same values and philosophies as criminal justice: deterrence, surveillance, stigma and graduated sanctions or punishments. How might we understand these broader shifts in the public policy environment, to what extent do they reflect and reproduce institutional racism, and how do they bleed into increased criminalization? I endeavour to answer this question through the consideration of two specific sites of social welfare policy – child protection and social housing – and to consider how systemic and institutional forms of racism play out in daily life for Indigenous people and how they interact with criminal justice.

“…Ce qu'ils espèrent, c'est un système suffisamment souple pour évaluer leurs besoins individuels et fournir un soutien individualisé permettant d'y répondre. Les personnes interrogées affirment systématiquement qu'elles veulent simplement tre traitées avec dignité et respect, qu'on les voit comme des personnes plutôt que comme des problèmes et qu'on leur manifeste de l'empathie 31 . C'est bien le moins que les bénéficiaires de la sécurité sociale puissent attendre de leur gouvernement.…”
