Kenneth Dodge is the William McDougall Professor of Public Policy and Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University and the founding director of the Duke University Center for Child and Family Policy.[3]

Background

Kenneth Dodge was born on July 20, 1954, and grew up in Chicago, Illinois. He completed his undergraduate degree in psychology at Northwestern University in 1975 and his Ph.D. in psychology at Duke University in 1978.[8]

Career

Dodge has directed the Center for Child and Family Policy at Duke University since its founding in 1999. There, he leads efforts to bring scientific research on children and families into the policymaking arena.[8] Dodge, a clinical and developmental psychologist, is a widely cited expert on the development of aggressive behavior and chronic violence in children.[9] Through his research, Dodge concluded that early physical abuse can result in biased patterns of social information processing in children, and in subsequent aggressive behavior.[10] Based on these findings, Dodge and his colleagues established the Fast Track Project, a comprehensive program designed to prevent young adult chronic violence by working with high-risk children to develop their academic and social skills.[11][12] He was also instrumental in creating Durham Connects, a program that provides free in-home nurse visits to all infants and their families in Durham County, North Carolina.[13] The program has been shown to greatly decrease infant emergency medical care in a child’s first year of life.[14] Dodge has published more than 400 scientific articles, and, in 2003, he was recognized by the Web of Science as being among the top 0.5 percent of “Most Highly-Cited Scientists”.[5] His awards include the J.P. Scott Award for Lifetime Contribution to Aggression Research from the International Society for Research on Aggression,[1] and the Senior Research Scientist award from the National Institutes of Health.[4] Additionally, Dodge serves on the editorial board for the journals Clinical Psychological Science,[15] Parenting: Science and Practice, and Aggressive Behavior.[16][17] Prior to arriving at Duke, Dodge served on the faculties of Indiana University, the University of Colorado and Vanderbilt University.[8]
