Broidy briefed National Press Foundation fellows in November 2021: A War on Minority Women?.

Lisa Broidy, Ph.D. is a Distinguished Regents’ Professor and Chair of Sociology and Criminology at the University of New Mexico. She also holds an appointment as Adjunct Professor at the Griffith Criminology Institute in Brisbane, Australia. Broadly, her scholarship focuses on the causes of crime with a particular emphasis on the ways in which gender, life course transitions, institutional contact, strains (including victimization and trauma), and emotions influence offending behavior and related outcomes, particularly among girls and women. Combining these interests, she is currently involved in projects in both the US and Australia that examine the impact of criminal justice contact on the well-being of mothers and their children.
