DESCRIPTION:Margot Van Sluytman will share her story of healin
 g after violent crime and the importance of restor
 ative justice. She will speak about the rich frien
 dship that has grown between her and the man and t
 he man\, Glen\, who killed her Father\, Theodore\,
  in an armed robbery in Toronto\, Canada in 1978. 
 In 2007 after reading about an award she received 
 from the National Association for Poetry Therapy f
 or her work creating and teaching courses in thera
 peutic writing\, Glen contacted her. They learned 
 that they each believed that respect\, responsibil
 ity\, and relationship\, the core values of restor
 ative justice\, are crucial to how society lives j
 ustice.  Margot will speak about how a “tough on c
 rime” agenda\, far too punitive\, has little to do
  with living justice. She will challenge limiting 
 ideas of the “good” guys vs. the “bad” guys\; and\
 , she will suggest that it is vital to come to rec
 ognize that the personal and the political are cru
 cial in how society forms\, reforms\, informs\, an
 d transforms public policy\, underscoring that a “
 legal” system is not the same as a justice system.
