Intensive collection efforts by governments in need of revenue often cause hardship, whether it is the poor in the US going to jail because of unpaid fines, low-income English people being evicted because they paid their council taxes but could then not pay their rent, or poor former students having tax refunds or social benefits taken by the government when they have defaulted on their student loans. Student loans, fines and fee arising from the justice system, benefit overpayments and unpaid taxes have all ballooned in the past decade, but no other volume comprehensively addresses the various ways in which governments have become privileged creditors, using their power to collect debts owed to them by their citizens. With each essay emphasizing a particular kind of debt to government, the book focuses on what happens when citizens cannot pay the debts they owe to their governments. Contributors offer pragmatic options to facilitate a movement to soften the stance of governments toward those who owe them money. The insights in this collection will be of relevance to students and academics in criminology, sociology, public policy, and economics, as well as policymakers and government officials interested in effecting change in this area"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Loans, Personal. 650 0 $a Debt. 650 0 $a Debt, Imprisonment for. 650 0 $a Debt $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 7 $a Debt. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00888768 650 7 $a Debt, Imprisonment for. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00888804 650 7 $a Loans, Personal. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01001105 700 1 $a Schwartz, Saul, $d 1951- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Oppressed by debt $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2022 $z 9780367816216 $w (DLC) 2021036719 830 0 $a Routledge studies in crime and society. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240717011410.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0829BED2C48911EDAC2163E35EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
