Publication Nonconsensual Contact, Repeated Nonconsensual Contact, and Fear: Findings from the 2020 Alaska Victimization Survey(Alaska Justice Information Center, 2024-03-22) Shimizu, Rei; Myrstol, Brad A.Using data from the 2020 Alaska Victimization Survey (AVS), this report examines nonconsensual contact, repeated nonconsensual contact, and the fear felt by those who experience nonconsensual and repeated nonconsensual contact. All percentages included in the report are weighted. Hence, the data is representative of population estimates, namely noninstitutionalized English-speaking adult women residing in Alaska.Publication Fast Facts on Sexual Violence in Alaska, 2020(Alaska Justice Information Center, 2023-10-24) Gonzalez, Andrew; Johnson, IngridSexual violence is an attempted or completed sexual act toward or upon a person who has not freely given consent or is unable to consent or refuse.

These estimates come from the 2020 Alaska Victimization Survey.

These analyses of Alaska Victimization Survey (AVS) data are comprised of almost 13,000 survey responses from adult, non-institutionalized Alaskan women. The findings confirm those of prior, non-Alaska based research that all types of historical and recent intimate partner violence (IPV) are linked to victims’ current physical and mental health. Non-physical IPV has the same negative relationships with various health status indicators as physical IPV: Control, threats, and psychological aggression are generally associated with the same prevalence of negative health outcomes as physical violence, although sexual violence is associated with the highest prevalence of negative health outcomes.Publication Fast Facts on Intimate Partner Abuse in Alaska, 2020(2023-10-24)Intimate partner abuse is more than physical violence. It also include psychological aggression (insulting and humiliating behaviors) and coercive control and entrapment (behaviors that are intended to monitor, control, or threaten). This publication, "Fast Facts on Intimate Partner Abuse in Alaska, 2020", presents point-prevalence estimates of intimate partner abuse in Alaska, along with its three main types described above. These estimates come from the 2020 Alaska Victimization Survey.

It also estimated the extent to which Alaska Mental Health Trust beneficiaries experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Alaska Mental Health Trust beneficiaries include Alaskans with mental illness, developmental disabilities, chronic alcohol or drug addiction, Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia, and traumatic brain injuries.Publication 2020 Statewide Alaska Victimization Survey Final Report(Justice Center, University of Alaska Anchorage, 2021-10) Johnson, IngridEvery human being has the right to be safe and free from violence in their own homes, relationships, and communities. The Alaska Victimization Survey provides comprehensive statewide and regional data to guide planning and policy development and to evaluate the impact of prevention and intervention services. The 2020 survey was designed to provide estimates that could be compared to previous statewide estimates from 2015 and 2010. Results are used to support prevention and intervention efforts that reduce violence against women.
