Professor Dodge is interested in how problem behaviors such as chronic violence, school failure, drug use, and child abuse develop across the life-span, how they can be prevented, and how communities can implement policies to prevent these outcomes and instead promote children’s optimal development. He has teamed up with colleagues to create, implement, and evaluate the Fast Track Program to prevent chronic violence in high-risk children. He is now leading the Durham Family Initiative to prevent child abuse in Durham, North Carolina. He teaches courses in social policy and mentors undergraduate and doctoral students.

Professor Dodge has been honored with the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the American Psychological Association, the Boyd McCandless Award, and the Senior Scientist Award from the National Institutes of Health.
