Camille Quinn, Ph.D., is a health criminologist scholar whose research focuses on investigating the health and mental health equity of Black/African American adolescents and young adults at the intersections of race, gender, health, crime and system involvement. She uses community-based participatory and mixed methods approaches to identify and address the needs of Black girls and young women involved in the youth punishment system to develop and advance effective and proactive prevention and intervention approaches as well as practice, policy, and research. Quinn partners with members of the health/mental health and legal/correctional communities to develop and test healing-focused interventions. Currently, Quinn is the principal investigator (PI) of a National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities Loan Repayment Program renewal award (2L60MD017910-02) and an R21 funded project (2R21MD016940-01A1) focused on developing and testing a healing centered intervention to reduce mental health disparities of court-involved Black girls and their caregivers. She is a co-PI of the MacArthur FoundationÕs Safety and Justice Challenge grant, which invests in efforts to increase criminal justice reform at the local level.
