Students and workers at the Centre for Criminal Justice Studies at UNB Saint John will be working with city police to help try and reduce the amount of criminal activity in the city. The director is Dr. Mary Ann Campbell who says through research, information can be used to help prevent criminals from re offending.
Campbell says the public often only hears about criminals who re offend, not those who benefit from treatment. A future goal for the Centre for Criminal Justice Studies is to provide professional workshops to help police deal with criminals who offend because of mental issues.
