Summary/Abstract: From the perspective of the current regime of neoliberal government the period of the welfare state appears as something of an exception to the continuity of forms of social policy stretching back to the nineteenth century. It will be argued that a focus on some aspects of the relationship between crime control, social policy and the state illustrates these continuities and enables the issues involved in future policy developments to be more clearly grasped.
