Dr. Emery has carried out survey research in the US, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Spain, Russia, Vietnam, Mongolia, Nepal, Ghana, and on North Korean refugees. His areas of research include (1) theorization and investigation of the mechanisms that underlie the relationship between informal social control and child maltreatment and intimate partner violence, (2) development of a new theory of the lived experience of child maltreatment and polyvictimization, (3) development of research, policy and practice to better protect women from intimate partner violence based on his theory of totalitarian, despotic, tolerant, conflict, and anarchic types of IPV.
