Dr. Miranda Galvin - Assistant Professor of Criminology

Title: “Policy, punishment, and place.”

Description: This talk will provide an overview of ongoing research related to the sources of disparity in punishment in Pennsylvania and Maryland using decomposition methods to parse the influence of behavior, treatment, and policy structures.

Dr. Elizabeth Skowron - Professor of Human Development and Family Studies & Associate Director, Child Maltreatment Solutions Network

Title: "Identifying modifiable caregiving risk processes and effective interventions to prevent child maltreatment and improve child welfare outcomes"

Description: Child maltreatment (CM) is a serious public health problem in the United States, resulting in substantial economic burdens for the public and negative developmental outcomes for affected children. In this talk, I will present some findings from our studies on modifiable risk processes in parenting young children, including what we’ve learned about dynamic patterns of autonomic physiology and parenting behavior that potentiate risk for physical child abuse and neglect. I will also discuss our clinical trials research on a family-based intervention, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, and its impact on novel target mechanisms and outcomes in child welfare-involved families.
