Publications

New book and support an excellent cause!

The Department of Justice Studies offers an annual scholarship known as the “John Petropoulos Memorial Fund”. The memorial fund is in the name and honor of a former student and eventual Calgary Police Officer who was killed in the line of duty.

His widow, Maryanne Pope has written an extraordinary book entitled “A widow’s awakening”. The book is a soul searching and honest account of her emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual journey since John’s passing. The book took eight years to finalize and offers much more than simply recounting her transition. Without being presumptuous, the book offers rich insights into valuable life lessons, current events, workplace safety, environmental issues, as well as depression and grief, among a host of other relevant life lessons.

20% of all proceeds for the sale of the book to directly to the Memorial Fund – a non-profit organization set up in memory of the author’s husband. The members of the Department of Justice Studies at Mount Royal University support and strongly recommends this book.
