Finding the Point a Person Lost His Self-Respect

The mission of Criminon (meaning “no crime”) is simple if formidable—to wipe out crime by eradicating the factors that create criminal behavior. Criminon, whose international headquarters are in Los Angeles, is a revolutionary and effective program whose actions speak in terms of results.

“Criminon eliminates any mystery about the sources of crime and demonstrates that crime has exact causes which can be addressed and resolved,” said Joan Lonstein, president of Criminon International. “Success story after success story from criminals rehabilitated by Criminon who do not return to crime substantiate these beliefs.”

The program utilizes the discoveries of author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. Among them, Mr. Hubbard found that an element exists common to every criminal which is key to resolving the crime problem.

Every criminal’s “career” can be traced to a loss of self-respect. Interviewing criminals, one frequently hears words such as, “One day I found I couldn’t trust myself.” When a person can no longer trust himself, he becomes a threat to society and his fellow man.

As early as 1952, Mr. Hubbard launched a criminal rehabilitation program with juvenile delinquents in London, England. After many years of additional research and discoveries, Criminon was formed.

Established in 1970 in New Zealand, the Criminon program consists of exact steps, each one bringing about precise changes in the individual. Growing out of the worldwide Narconon drug rehabilitation program3, Criminon now operates within corrections systems throughout the United States to rehabilitate criminals by restoring their sense of self-worth so that they can become productive members of society.
