Editor spotlight: April Zeoli

New Content ItemDr. April Zeoli conducts interdisciplinary research, with a goal of bringing together the fields of public health and criminology and criminal justice. Her main fields of investigation are the prevention of firearm violence, intimate partner violence, and homicide through the use of policy and law. She is one of the nation’s leading experts on policy interventions for firearm use in intimate partner violence and on extreme risk protection orders (also known as red flag laws). Broadly, Dr. Zeoli studies the role of firearms in intimate partner violence and homicide, as well as the civil and criminal justice systems responses to intimate partner violence. Her research focuses on legal firearm restrictions for domestic violence abusers and their impact on intimate partner homicide, the implementation of those firearm restrictions, and the criminal histories of intimate partner homicide offenders with a focus on missed intervention opportunities. Dr. Zeoli serves as the research expert for the National Domestic Violence and Firearms Resource Center and has served as an expert commentator on intimate partner homicide, guns, domestic violence-related mass shootings, and extreme risk protection orders for news organizations such as NPR, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and Newsweek.
