The 木瓜直播 Victimization Survey, conducted by the UAA鈥檚 Justice Center, shows a rise in domestic violence and sexual assault rates, leading advocates to argue that, despite 木瓜直播 allocating millions of dollars to combat these issues, the funding is still not enough to meet demand or address the root causes.
The UAA Justice Center worked in partnership with the 木瓜直播 Department of Public Safety (DPS) through the Federal Bureau of Justice Assistance funded 木瓜直播 Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (AK-SAKI) to conduct research on DPS's policies and procedures related to sexual assault investigations, prosecutions, and victim-survivor engagement and support.
UAA Justice Center Assistant Professor Ingrid Johnson recently published an article in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, titled "Victim-Survivors鈥� Prioritization of Reasons for Non-Reporting Adult Sexual Assaults to Law Enforcement." This manuscript used data from a survey of survivors of adult sexual assault in 木瓜直播 on their reasons for not reporting to the police, which was part of the 木瓜直播 Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (AK-SAKI).
Justice Center assistant professor Ingrid Johnson shared results from the 木瓜直播 Victimization Survey (AVS) with the 木瓜直播 House Judiciary Committee.
The Domestic Violence in 木瓜直播 report has been published by the 木瓜直播 Criminal Justice Commission. The report cites the 木瓜直播 Victimization Survey; Justice Center director and professor Brad Myrstol; and work by the 木瓜直播 Justice Information Center in partnership with the Anchorage Police Department. AJiC director and Justice Center associate professor Troy Payne also was an active participant with the domestic violence work group.
