| Title |
A History of the John Howard Society of Quebec, 1892-1955
|
| Abstract |
The author studies the evolution and growth of the John Howard Society of Quebec from its inception as a voluntary Anglican prisoners' aid association in 1892 to its position (circa 1956) in the community as a professional casework agency and member of Welfare Federation of Montreal. The author examines the structure and functions of the three main periods of the Society, each denoted by a change in the Society’s name. It was first known as the Prisoners’ Aid Association of Montreal (1892-1931), then the Prisoners’ Aid and Welfare Association of Montreal (1931-1947), and finally The John Howard Society of Quebec (post-1947). The author explains the gradual adoption by the Society of new aims and methods in line with evolving trends in penology, including the differentiation between the role of the Society’s Directors and that of the caseworkers within the Society as it became able to accommodate the views and efforts of two specialized groups to further its work.
