      ab: The article investigates how the increased monitoring of welfare recipients by police and criminal prosecutors amplified and solidified recipients' marginalized position in society. It explores the anti-welfare fraud initiatives in Illinois during the 1970 to show that charges of criminality were critical to accelerating the stigmatization of welfare recipients. According to the author, the anti-fraud campaign in the state framed welfare recipients, who were already burdened in the public discourse by the intersecting stigma of race, class and gender as deceptive criminals.
