John Howard Society view

• A. They focus on preventing crime, not harsher punishment
• B. They advocate for longer sentences
• C. They focus on media sensationalism
• D. They support abolishing community safety

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that the John Howard Society emphasizes crime prevention and rehabilitation as ways to keep communities safer. They focus on addressing the underlying causes of crime—poverty, education gaps, housing, addiction, and mental health —and on helping offenders reintegrate into society through programs that reduce reoffending. That’s why the statement about focusing on preventing crime rather than harsher punishment is the best fit. They aren’t advocating longer sentences as a primary solution, and their work isn’t about media sensationalism or eliminating community safety; it aims to strengthen safety through effective, humane justice policies and community support.
