The government has misrepresented research findings on 'troubled families', blaming the poor, not coalition policies, for rising poverty levels
Levitas, R.
(2012).
The government has misrepresented research findings on 'troubled families', blaming the poor, not coalition policies, for rising poverty levels.

Ruth Levitas argues that the government’s policies either illustrate a statistical incompetency or conceal rising levels of poverty spilling from government policy.
