Hinweis der Redaktion
He travelled around England and Europe visiting prisons and recording his findings, eventually writing a well thought out book called The State of Prisons in England and Whales. His findings established the modern English-speaking prison reform movement.
He advocated for clean, healthy accommodation with the provision of adequate clothing and linen; segregation of prisoners according to sex, age and nature of offence and proper health care.
He was also a firm believer in the need for prisoners to be provided with work in order that the sin of idleness could be combated.
1932 the first John Howard Society was formed in Vancouver, BC
1946 our Calgary office opened its doors
now we have agencies in 10 Provinces across Canada and 1 territory, total of 46 locations
Focus on reducing the incidence of crime and increasing community safety
5% of youth account for 55% of offences
Longitudinal studies confirm 5% risk factors such as relative poverty, ineffective parenting and dropping out of school (Waller 2006, Less Law, More Order)
1 in 4 Canadians were the victims of crimes such as thefts, vandalism, and assaults annually- and approximately 40% of these were victimized more than once.
(Stats Canada 2004, report on victimization)
Canada spends more than $13 billion each year on police, corrections and other criminal justice services (Department of Justice Canada, 2003; Ekos (2004)
There is considerable criminological evidence that suggests that, in the long run, stricter penalties may may make our communities less safe.
With few exceptions, almost all get out. And if we know one thing about incarceration it's this: few people are improved by the experience.
We cannot lock up forever everyone who has done something terrible - except for a small minority - so the fact that the majority of prisoners eventually gets out requires us to ask "How might we, as a community, make their return to our community as safe and humane as possible?" - because that's in our shared interest.
3) If we put people in jail for longer periods of time “tough on crime thinking”, Government estimates that in a 10 year period, they can spend over 200 billion of tax payers dollars, provinces bearing the largest portion of this burden because people convicted are mostly placed in provincial jails (http://www.johnhoward.ab.ca/pub/pdf/CriminalJusticeReform2007.pdf)
It is not rocket science, crime increases. By not employing people with criminal backgrounds, we are segregating, isolating and alienating. Not creating a platform for people to thrive, makes it that much harder for people to get out of criminal activity.
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts

Our goal is to create a platform for people to thrive rather than survive, by helping individuals find meaningful and sustainable employment.
