'The Society's goal is to prevent crime through research, community education, the promotion of systemic change and restorative services to individuals'

 

The Society takes its name from the English prison reformer John Howard (1726 – 1790), who chronicled the conditions of prisons in his seminal work “The State of Prisons in England and Wales”. John Howard’s book was the beginning of a prison reform movement in England and was the basis of many changes to the penal system in Europe.
