Member: Betty Caponera
Betty Caponera, Ph.D is the Director of the New Mexico Interpersonal Violence Data Central Repository which was established in 1999 as the result of VAWA funded research that began in 1996. She produces the statewide Incidence and Nature of Domestic Violence report and Sex Crimes in New Mexico report, annually. These reports are used to guide policy decisions, program interventions and the cost-effective allocation of resources for the prevention, treatment, prosecution and adjudication of interpersonal violence crimes. In 2005, Dr. Caponera conducted New Mexico’s first statewide violence victimization survey to capture unreported incidents and lifetime prevalence of violence victimizations in New Mexico. In 2006, she was appointed by Governor Richardson to serve on the New Mexico Trauma Authority, a group formed to make resource allocation decisions targeted to dramatically improve trauma and mass casualty response throughout the state.
