The John Howard Society is an organization of citizens who accept responsibility for understanding and dealing with the problems of crime and the criminal justice system. Our mission is to promote effective, just and humane responses to crime and its causes. The mission of the John Howard Society of Ottawa is committed to promoting a safe and healthy community through services that prevent crime. For the past fifty years, the Society has been accountable to this community through a volunteer board of directors who direct, control and inspire the organization. J.H.S. Ottawa is a not-for-profit charitable organization which has served citizens across the region since 1951. For over ten years we have offered a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary crime prevention approach. Our Services prevent crime by reducing the individual behaviors and circumstances which are linked to criminal activity and by developing the attitudes and skills which support a law-abiding lifestyle. Interventions are research-based and directed at client motivation, skill development and self-control.
