Psychology

Dr. Quincy C. Miller completed her PhD at the University of Toledo, followed by postdoctoral fellowships at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the University of California, Irvine. Dr. Miller’s research integrates developmental psychology and the law to understand children’s participation in the legal system. Her work focuses on children’s disclosure of maltreatment experiences, best practices in child forensic interviewing, factors contributing to wrongful convictions in child maltreatment cases, and the translation of research findings to inform legal policy and practice. Dr. Miller’s research has been funded by the American Psychology-Law Society and she has authored journal articles and book chapters published in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Child Abuse & Neglect, Applied Developmental Science, Behavioral Sciences & the Law, and Psychological Reports.
