In 2016-2017 I was a Congressional fellow in Washington, D.C., dually sponsored by the Society for 研究 in Child Development and the American Association for the Advancement of Science and Technology. In this position, I worked for Senator Ron Wyden (Oregon) and the U.S. Senate Finance Committee where I assisted in the investigation regarding the privatization and mistreatment high-risk, medically fragile children in foster care in the U.S. and was a lead author on the resulting report. Prior to my current academic post, I was on the faculty in the School of Social Work at Bridgewater State University in Bridgewater, 麻萨诸塞州 from 2006-2017.
My research focuses on child and family well-being, with a strong focus on policy and programmatic implications. 具体地说, my expertise lies in fatal child maltreatment, men who experience partner violence and seek help, 离异家庭, and corporal punishment. I am also especially interested in the use of research to inform policy-making.
I have recently completed my fourth book, Child Maltreatment Fatalities in the United States: Four Decades of Policy, 程序, and Other Professional Responses. It was released by Springer in August 2016.
In 2014, I testified before the U.S. National Commission on the Elimination of Child Abuse & 忽视死亡. In 2015, I spoke at the 麻萨诸塞州 State House as part of the Family Impact Seminar about fatal child maltreatment and the community providers.
Dr. Denise Hines and I investigate the physical health and mental health of men who seek help for partner violence victimization and the health and behavioral health of their children. Our research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health.
In 2013, my co-authored book on corporal punishment, with Drs. Murray Straus and Rose Medeiros, was released: The Primordial 暴力: Spanking Children, Psychological Development, 暴力, and Crime (Routledge/Francis & 泰勒).
For the 2010-2011 academic year I was the Presidential Fellow at Bridgewater State University, which enabled me to spend this time as a visiting research fellow at the internationally known Family 研究 Laboratory, at the University of New Hampshire, where I conducted a study on the intersection of the helping professionals and fatal child maltreatment.
I am the founder and chair of the former National 研究 Conference on Child and Family 程序s and Policy that was held between 2008-2012 at Bridgewater State University. In my previous positions I was an assistant extension professor at the University of New Hampshire in the Department of Family Studies. I was also co-chair of the 9th International Family 暴力 研究 Conference held in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in July, 2005 . Between 2002-2004 I was a postdoctoral research fellow with Dr. Murray Straus at the Family 研究 Laboratory at the University of New Hampshire. I completed my doctorate in public policy at the University of 麻萨诸塞州, Boston in 2002.
