Emily Moir

Emily Moir is a senior lecturer in Criminology and Justice. Emily is an environmental criminologist and crime analyst who is interested in how certain environments and situations enable opportunities for crime. Her research focuses on guardianship and citizen-led crime control, exploring how regular people not involved in law enforcement and the criminal justice system can help to detect, respond to, and prevent crime. She has applied this work across a range of crime types including burglary and property crime, elder abuse, workplace exploitation, and parole and probation reoffending. Emily has consulted with a variety of state and local agencies on projects related to community safety and crime trends and project evaluation.

Emily is on the Editorial Board for Security Journal and on the Committee of Management for the Australian and New Zealand Society of Criminology.
