Overnight, the quiet homebody was galvanized into an inspired public advocate for stricter treatment of young offenders and more compassionate treatment of victims of crime. He became a rallying figure for people across Canada growing impatient with tolerant attitudes toward youth crime, and in 1997 the people of Surrey North elected him as their Member of Parliament.’ (from rear wrap)
