Abstract
This document is a two-page summary of the key results from the 2015 Alaska Victimization Survey (AVS) for Alaska statewide and trends from 2010 to 2015, which show a decline in intimate partner and sexual violence in Alaska since 2010. The 2015 AVS statewide survey was conducted from May to August 2015, with results released on February 25, 2016 in Juneau. Findings include:
* In 2010, 12 in 100 women had experienced intimate partner violence, sexual violence, or both in Alaska during the previous year. By 2015, that number dropped to 8 in 100;
* Intimate partner violence decreased by 32%;
* Sexual violence decreased by 33%;
* 6,556 fewer women experienced intimate partner violence in 2015 than in 2010; and
* 3,072 fewer women experienced sexual violence in 2015 than 2010.
The 2015 survey also indicated that:
* 21,401 adult women in Alaska experienced intimate partner violence, sexual violence, or both in the past year; and
* Half of adult women in Alaska (more than 130,000) have experienced violence in their lifetime.
