Priscilla de Villiers
(重定向自CAVEAT)
Priscilla de Villiers is a Canadian activist. She was the founder and president of CAVEAT, an organization advocating governmental policy on crime.
Originally from South Africa, de Villiers is the mother of Nina de Villiers, a McMaster University student who was murdered on August 9, 1991 by Jonathon Yeo while jogging in Burlington, Ontario. Her killer had, according to CAVEAT's website, "a long history of violence." This event prompted de Villiers to enter public life and found CAVEAT to lobby government policy to strengthen laws in the hopes of preventing similar incidents.
