Pettus-Davis generates research to develop individual, family, and community well-being; promote racial and economic equality; and change conventional criminal justice outcomes. She works with community partners to develop interventions to enhance positive social support, respond to lifetime trauma experiences, treat substance use and mental health disorders, and generate overall well-being for those impacted by criminal justice involvement.
