The Archway’s Office of Research and Innovation is dedicated to advancing the understanding of domestic violence and its impact on individuals, families and communities. Through cutting-edge research, collaborative initiatives and evidence-based tools, we aim to drive meaningful change in the systems victims use to survive.
Explore our current publications and projects to learn how we’re shaping a safer future for victims everywhere.
If you’re interested in conducting research in partnership with The Archway, please contact Dr. Lauri Jensen-Campbell.
The Texas Assessment of Dominant Aggressor (TXADA) is being developed by The Archway team in collaboration with the nationally-esteemed RAND Corporation as a tool to help the criminal justice system and others in the work of domestic violence determine the dominant aggressor in an abusive intimate partner relationship.
TXADA will include two separate tools: one for use by law enforcement responding to domestic violence calls on scene, and another for detectives and others who investigate an abuse charge.
The TXADA tool is currently in a nationwide research phase where police departments and Criminal District Attorney offices across the country will test and help refine the questioning in the field.
Dr. Lauri Jensen-Campbell earned her Ph.D. in Psychology from Texas A&M University, where her dissertation received the J.S. Tanaka Personality Dissertation Award, a national recognition for outstanding work in personality research. She went on to teach and lead research at Florida Atlantic University and later the University of Texas at Arlington, where she served as a Distinguished Teaching Professor. Her work has focused on how violence and aggression affect health across a person’s life, earning support from the National Science Foundation, Timberlawn Psychiatric Research Foundation, and the Marchionne Research Foundation.
Now professor emeritus at UT Arlington, Dr. Jensen-Campbell has also served in key leadership roles overseeing research ethics and integrity. She brings both her academic expertise and her passion for survivor-centered research to our work—helping us better understand the challenges victims face and driving meaningful change in the systems they rely on for safety.
