About the CCJS
Established in 1995
The Centre for Criminal Justice Studies (CCJS) represents as wealth of knowledge and expertise relevant to a wide range of criminal justice topics and concerns. This expertise extends from the level of public policy to the level of applied and basic research pertinent to understanding crime, criminal behaviour, and the many elements of the criminal justice system.
This understanding is offered from psychological, sociological, political, historical, and interdisciplinary perspectives via our Advisory Board and community partners. We have been a member of New Brunswick's Roundtable of Crime and Public Safety since 2011. We were very excited to be part of this Roundtable, which informed the development of the province's Crime Prevention and Reduction Strategy and we continue to contribute to its ongoing evolution and its implementation.
Although the CCJS itself does not itself provide university courses or academic programs of study, but we do provide professional workshops, lectures, and occasional conferences that are intended to translate research knowledge into practice in ways that enhance best practices and theoretical understandings of criminal justice systems and related issues.
Students in undergraduate and graduate programs at the University of New Brunswick (or other institutions) with criminal justice interests are welcome to seek opportunities to become involved in research underway at the CCJS. They also participate in workshop/lecture series/conferences when they are offered to the public.
Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to learn about what we up are to lately and to learn about interesting facts and tidbits related to criminal justice news and research!
For those interested in university level training in criminal justice topics, the UNB Saint John campus offers a Criminal Justice Minor within the Faculty of Arts for students in degree programs at UNB. Many disciplines and departments on campus offer courses related to social deviance, criminal behaviour, and crime.
Dr. Moir is an Associate Professor of Economics in the Faculty of Business at the University of New Brunswick in Saint John, an Associate Dean (Research and Special Projects), and serves as the Director of the Urban and Community Studies Institute.
Rob Moir
Other titles
Director, Urban and Community Studies Institute
Rob Moir joined UNB Saint John in 1996 and is currently serving as Associate Dean (Research and Special Projects) and Associate Professor of Economics within the Faculty of Business. He received a BArts&Science (Honours in Economics) from McMaster, an MA from Queen's, and a PhD from McMaster.
He has been a visiting research scholar at the University of Arizona in Tucson, and the Cognitive and Experimental Economics Laboratory at the University of Trento in Trento, Italy. He has also been a visiting professor at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China.
In May 2018, Rob Moir was named a John Dobson Enactus Fellow by the John Dobson Foundation. This national award honours those who have demonstrated a commitment to shaping generations of entrepreneurial leaders.
Dr Moir's key research topic is the role of cooperation in the economy. Specifically, he used research methods identified in the fields of game theory, experimental and behavioural economics to determine what drives cooperation and how mechanisms might be designed to facilitate cooperation when cooperation is beneficial to an economy. This has led him to inquiries into environmental issues, market structure, governance, strategy framing, public good provision, gambling, economic measurement, happiness, and community economic development. Dr. Moir also currently holds two research grants for research on the economic impact of tourism in New Brunswick.
NDP Candidate Says Ottawa Has A Culture Of Entitlement
A Saint John economics professor is trying his hand at federal politics again.
NDP Candidate Rob Moir says he’s running for two reasons, the first being a need for change in the House of Commons.
He tells CHSJ News that a culture of entitlement is growing in Ottawa.
Moir says it’s coming to the point where it’s getting disgusting and it’s leading to election after election. He adds the second reason he is running is that Saint John doesn’t have a voice in Ottawa. Moir says the city has so much potential but is underserved.
He ran in 2008 for the NDP in Fundy Royal.

Robert S. Moore PC MP (born May 14, 1974) is a Canadian lawyer, politician, and former Minister of State (ACOA) and Regional Minister for New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador.[1]
Moore was first elected to parliament in the 2004 federal election serving until his defeat in the 2015 federal election. He was re-elected in the 2019 federal election for his former riding of Fundy Royal.
Early life and career
Moore was born in Gander, Newfoundland. He is the son of a Pentecostal minister, R. Douglas Moore (of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada) and his wife, Marie. He has two younger sisters and a younger brother. Due to his father's pastoral work, Moore spent time during his childhood living near Syracuse, New York and also spent eight years from late childhood to his mid-teenage years living in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania. While in Pennsylvania, he attended Bethel Christian Academy, a school in Carlisle, Pennsylvania affiliated with his father's church, Bethel Assembly of God. After completing the 8th grade at Bethel Christian Academy (now called Carlisle Christian Academy), he briefly attended Boiling Springs High School (with the South Middleton School District) in Boiling Springs, PA. His family returned to Canada in the summer of 1989 when his father, a Canadian citizen, started a church.[2] Moore completed his high school education at Kennebecasis Valley High School in 1992.
Moore has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of New Brunswick. He was admitted to the Law Society of New Brunswick in June 2000.
He and his wife Melinda live in Quispamsis with their two daughters, Madeline and Katelyn and son Robert.[3]
Political career
Moore ran in the 2000 federal election for the Canadian Alliance in the New Brunswick riding of Fundy—Royal. He finished third, with 8,392 votes behind John Herron of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada.
Following the 2003 merger of the Progressive Conservatives and the Canadian Alliance into the new Conservative Party of Canada, Moore ran as the Conservative candidate in the 2004 election in the reshaped riding of Fundy against Herron, who had not supported the merger and ran as the Liberal candidate in the 2004 election. Moore won the rematch.
In the 2006 election, Moore defeated three opponents: Eldon Hunter of the Liberal Party of Canada, Rob Moir of the New Democratic Party, and Patty Donovan of the Green Party of Canada. The Conservatives, led by Stephen Harper, replaced the Liberals' minority government with one of their own in 2006. When the new government was sworn in in February 2006, Moore was appointed Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada. Moore's duties as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice included representing the Minister in Parliament and in the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights.
Harper led the Conservative minority government as Prime Minister of Canada for over two years before the 2008 Canadian federal election after which a coalition threat was narrowly defeated by a combination of delaying tactics and leadership shifts in the Liberal Party of Canada. Moore was personally re-elected.
On January 19, 2010, Harper appointed Moore to cabinet as the Minister of State (Small Business and Tourism).[4] He replaced Diane Ablonczy, who moved to Minister of State (Seniors). He was eventually released from cabinet after the general election in May 2011 (in which the Conservatives won their first majority government since their re-formation under that name). Michael Sona, the only person charged in relation the 2011 Canadian federal election voter suppression scandal, worked for a time as a communications special assistant for Moore after the election.[5]
On July 15, 2013, Moore was reinstated in the cabinet and named Minister of State (ACOA) and Regional Minister for New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador in a cabinet shuffle.[1][6] Moore ran for reelection as the Conservative candidate for Fundy Royal in the 2015 Canadian federal election[7] but lost to Alaina Lockhart, who became only the second Liberal in a century to win what was generally a safe Conservative seat.[8]
On September 15, 2016, Moore was appointed as the Conservative critic for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) by Interim Leader of the Conservative Party, Rona Ambrose, replacing Scott Armstrong.[9] He was the only Conservative Party critic who was not a member of either the Senate of Canada or the House of Commons of Canada.[10]
Moore regained his seat of Fundy Royal, defeating Lockhart, in the 2019 Canadian federal election.[11][12]
Moore endorsed Peter MacKay in the 2020 Conservative Party of Canada leadership election.[13] He was re-elected in the 2021 federal election.
