Crime stopping: A spiritual approach

Live audio chat with Maryl Walters, C.S.B.

In her opening comments Maryl  talks about love as "a great, unstoppable power" that's often overlooked or even dismissed when people look for ways to address crime. In her responses to questions from site visitors she brings out the centrality of God, divine Love, not as a force "over there," but as always right at hand to help us all.

Among the questions are: how to feel safe in bad neighborhoods, how to overcome feelings of wanting to retaliate against others, what to do about gangs and other forms of violence, including the recent Boston Marathon bombing.

She also responds to questions about how to help children have a good moral foundation so they won't be lured into crime, and the difficulty victims of crime sometimes face in getting justice.
