Act now

Our campaigns

Everything we do is focused on achieving our core campaign objectives. Your support and involvement in our campaigning work is vital to achieving less crime, safer communities and fewer people in prison. We need you to act now for penal reform.

Community Sentences Cut Crime

The campaign aims to encourage public and government support for successful community sentences. We believe that well resourced and well structured programmes raise public protection, bring down the rate of offending and repay the damage done by crime in a way which custodial sentences cannot. Our Community Programmes Awards aim to promote best practice in community programmes which serve as alternatives to custody.

The Howard League for Penal Reform supports the Save UK Justice campaign

You can support the campaign by signing an e-petition calling on the Ministry of Justice not proceed with their plans to reduce access to justice by depriving citizens of legal aid or the right to representation by the Solicitor of their choice.
