PUNISHING THE POOR THROUGH WELFARE REFORM: CRUEL AND UNUSUAL? |

In America's earliest days, punishment for being poor extended beyond poverty's unpleasant, concomitant circumstances--nagging hunger, tattered clothing, vagrancy--to include community-inflicted sentences such as banishment, whippings, and auctioning off the poor like slaves. American attitudes towards the impoverished may have transitioned from... |
