He then worked as an Intelligence Analyst for the United States Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration for three and one-half years before attending MCP Hahnemann University (currently Drexel University) in Philadelphia, PA to obtain his Ph.D. degree in Clinical Psychology. Dr. Dudek completed his Predoctoral Psychology Internship at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School in Belmont, MA. While in graduate school, he served as an Honors Intern with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and completed his dissertation research - examining the sexual homicide of female prostitutes and funded, in part, with grants awarded from the National Institute of Justice and the American Academy of Forensic Psychology - with the FBI's National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime. He completed his Postdoctoral Fellowship in Forensic Psychology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, MA. He is a member of the American Psychological Association; APA Division 41, the American Psychology-Law Society; and the Maine Medicolegal Society. He has published a number of peer-reviewed articles, to include a book chapter on prostitute homicide to be published in 2008. He has presented and lectured to diverse audiences both domestically and internationally.
In addition to conducting forensic evaluations for the legal system, state and local agencies, and testifying as an expert witness, Dr. Dudek further provides consultation services to law enforcement agencies and businesses, including support of criminal investigations and litigation, violence risk and threat assessment, training, risk management and related policy development, and workplace violence concerns. He is an affiliated consultant with the McCloskey Resource Group, a Portland, ME-based risk management company. Dr. Dudek has a particular expertise in the assessment of sexual and nonsexual violence and is a member of the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services' Multidisciplinary Team, tasked with conducting assessments pursuant to the State's civil commitment statute for dangerous sexual offenders. He has consulted on several high profile criminal investigations portrayed in the national media. These include recently assisting award-winning investigative reporter Christine Young with the examination of a cold case sexual homicide involving a female prostitute victim, Michaelanne Hall, and the alleged wrongful conviction of defendant Lebrew Jones. This case has since been reopened by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and is also being investigated by the Innocence Project. Dr. Dudek also actively consulted with the Durham, NH Police Department on the so-called "Jack the Snipper" case, involving a predatory offender who engaged in a compulsive, bizarre pattern of sexually deviant behavior that terrorized the University of New Hampshire community. As a provider for Matrix, Incorporated, Dr. Dudek specifically offers preemployment evaluation, fitness-for-duty assessment, and other training services to public safety agencies.
