AJiC's Homicide in Alaska: 1976-2016 report used the data in the Supplementary Homicide Reports (SHR) to document foundational characteristics of homicide in Alaska. Among other findings it details homicides over time, the distribution across Alaska law enforcement agencies, the weapons used in homicide, circumstances surrounding homicides, demographic qualities of victims and suspects, and the relationship between victims and suspects. The analysis moves forward our understanding of Alaska homicide by examining homicide characteristics as they differ between different victim groups. The report shows how homicide differs by the race, the sex, and the combination of race and sex of the victim.
