Jacquelyn Campbell is a national leader in research and advocacy in the field of domestic violence or intimate partner violence (IPV). Her expertise is frequently sought by national and international policy makers in exploring IPV and its health effects on families and communities. 

Her most recent research in health sequelae has been foundational for the areas of the intersection of HIV and violence against women and how head injuries and strangulation from intimate partner violence can result in undiagnosed and untreated Traumatic Brain Injury. She has consistently advocated for addressing health inequities of marginalized women in this country and globally affected by experiences of violence.  

She has served as Principle Investigator on 14 federally funded collaborative research investigations through the National Institutes of Health, National Institutes of Justice, Department of Defense, the Department of Justice (Office of Violence Against Women), and Centers for Disease Control to examine intimate partner homicide and other forms of violence against women as well as interventions and policy initiatives to improve the justice and health care system response. This work has paved the way for a growing body of interdisciplinary knowledge about experiences of violence and health outcomes, risk assessment for lethal and near-lethal domestic violence, and coordinated system (justice, social services, and health) responses to address intimate partner violence.

Dr. Campbell has published more than 270 articles, 56 book chapters and seven books, in addition to developing the Danger Assessment, an instrument to assist abused women in accurately determining their level of danger. The Danger Assessment is also the basis of the Lethality Assessment Program (MNADV LAP) for first responders to assess risk of homicide of domestic violence survivors and connect those at high risk with domestic violence services. In collaboration with Dr. Nancy Glass, originator of myPlan, a decision aid for IPV survivors, she is leading an NIH-funded cultural adaptation of myPlan for immigrant and indigenous women.

Elected to the Institute of Medicine in 2000, Dr. Campbell also was the Institute of Medicine/American Academy of Nursing/American Nurses' Foundation Senior Scholar in Residence and was founding co-chair of the IOM Forum on the Prevention of Global Violence. Other honors include the Pathfinder Distinguished Researcher by the Friends of the National Institute of Health National Institute for Nursing Research, Outstanding Alumna and Distinguished Contributions to Nursing Science Awards, Duke University School of Nursing, the American Society of Criminology Vollmer Award, and being named one of the inaugural 17 Gilman Scholars at Johns Hopkins University. She is on the Board of Directors for Futures Without Violence, is an active member of the Johns Hopkins Women鈥檚 Health Research Group, and has served on the boards of the House of Ruth Battered Women's Shelter and four other shelters. She was a member of the congressionally appointed U.S. Department of Defense Task Force on Domestic Violence.

Healton is currently focused on what lessons can be learned from the tobacco industry鈥檚 Master Settlement Agreement and applied to other public health issues, including opioids, gun violence, obesity, and global warming. https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMp1802633

Criminal Justice, Gun Violence, Racial Disparities

Mr. Barnes is the Assistant Director of the NJ Gun Violence Research Center (GVRC) and Associate Professor at RU-SPH, Urban Global Public Health. He brings a wealth of practical experience to the GVRC and the School of Public Health, from years in government to the private sector and ministry. Mr. Barnes served in a senior role while working in the NJ Assembly Office. As Chief of Staff to the Assembly Majority Leader, Bonnie Watson Coleman (currently, Congresswoman NJ-12th District), he led her statewide campaign on criminal justice reform and authored an extensive package of bills that was hailed by the New York Times as a model for the country. The legislation sought to make common sense changes like allowing those incarcerated access to educational programs to achieve their high school diploma and provide those released from prison with their medical records. At the start of the 2010 legislative session, incoming Speaker, Sheila Y. Oliver, asked Mr. Barnes to serve as her Chief of Staff.

He worked collaboratively to enact multiple legislative proposals on behalf of the Speaker by monitoring national trends and culling bi-partisan and stakeholder support. He admirably served the Speaker and the majority caucus before transitioning to the private sector. As Area Director, Government Affairs, for a major cable and telecommunications company headquartered in New York, he was responsible for all federal, state, and local lobbying efforts within New Jersey. He supervised internal and external teams of consultants to best position the business interest of the company with regulators, elected officials, and the communities within the company鈥檚 franchise area. After several successful years spearheading the company鈥檚 government affairs strategy, Mr. Barnes resigned to enroll at Princeton Theological Seminary, where he pursued a Master of Divinity. While attending seminary, he served as Chaplain at Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton, where he provided pastoral care to victims of interpersonal violence and their families. Mr. Barnes witnessed firsthand the devastation gun violence can have on the individual, family, and community.

At the conclusion of his studies in seminary, the Lieutenant Governor of NJ/Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs (DCA), Sheila Y. Oliver, asked Mr. Barnes to join the Commissioner鈥檚 Office as Director of Policy and External Affairs. In this role, he was the point of contact for all elected officials and their staffs; provided the department鈥檚 feedback to the Governor鈥檚 Office on pending legislation; and worked closing with community facing organizations and stakeholders to administer Community Service Block Grants. Mr. Barnes remains well-respected in New Jersey鈥檚 political and policy circles, having forged relationships on both sides of the aisle as well as with key community-based organizations and stakeholders.

Research Interests:
Mr. Barnes鈥 will supervise the research focus of the GVRC to ensure our mission to become a center for excellence in programmatic research on gun violence. Mr. Barnes will work to ensure the research produced is translated for diverse audiences with an emphasis on the racial disparities associated with everyday gun violence. His longstanding relationships with municipalities, stakeholders, and the faith-based community will be instrumental to GVRC鈥檚 plan for civic engagement and the overall success of our research. Mr. Barnes鈥 will pursue areas of academic interests like the intersection of Black voices in public health鈥攐ften discounted or overlooked鈥攚ith an emphasis on historical figures with a tangible connection to faith and/or faith-based communities. An ecumenical and interfaith approach to examining these voices will allow a holistic understanding of the history of public health advocacy, or public health justice, with a focal point on the foundational work championed by resilient men and women of color.

Gun Violence, gun violence epidemic

There have been more than 28,500 deaths due to gun violence in the U.S. in 2023 so far, according to .

Incidents of gun violence have long spurred debate about how to curb the problem. While some may be quick to point to mental health as a primary cause, , forensic psychologist and clinician at , suggests that placing blame on any one factor is likely inaccurate and may hinder progress that may otherwise be made by taking a broader approach.

Elbogen is the co-author of a book called . It examines various case studies and finds that the causes of gun violence are more like a jigsaw puzzle, where various factors reveal the full picture. 

Quote: “After high-profile violence, it’s natural for people to want clear answers immediately. But violence is multifactorial. Instead of jumping to conclusions, people need to consider many risk factors. Was this person under financial strain? How was their social support? What was their age and sex? Could they regulate their anger? Were they abusing substances? Did they embrace hate ideology? Could they access guns readily? Did they show antisocial traits, like lacking empathy for other human beings? Thinking about multiple causes is needed to identify the strongest factors to solve the problem of violence.”

Bio: is a professor in the at the . He is board-certified in forensic psychology, conducting clinical work and empirical research at the intersection of law and mental health services.
