Charities and Pressure Groups Practice Test

The Howard League for Penal Reform focuses on changing how crime is responded to, aiming to reduce crime and improve safety by reforming penal policy and reducing reliance on imprisonment. This means promoting smarter, evidence-based reforms that lead to fewer people in prison, safer communities, and a transformed approach to punishment and rehabilitation. They work through research, policy proposals, and advocacy to push for alternatives to custody, better conditions and rehabilitation inside prisons, and approaches that prevent crime in the long term. The other options describe expanding prisons, privatization, or harsher sentencing, which run counter to a reform-minded mission.
