The John Howard Society is best described as which of the following?

• A. An advocacy group that works with all youth and adults
• B. A youth service protecting animals
• C. An advocacy group focusing on women's rights only
• D. A government body controlling sentencing

Answer: (A)

This question tests understanding of what the John Howard Society is. It is a non-governmental advocacy group focused on criminal justice issues, offering support and pushing for reforms for people involved with the justice system, including both youth and adults. It is not an organization that protects animals, not limited to women's rights, and not a government body. The best description is that it’s an advocacy group working with youth and adults affected by the justice system.
