Dr. Rosay presents an update on the Alaska Victimization Survey to Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault

Dr. André Rosay, Justice Center Director, presented an update on the Alaska Victimization Survey at a meeting of the Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (CDVSA) in Anchorage on September 28.

The Alaska Victimization Survey is a multi-year project designed to provide definitive measures of intimate partner violence and sexual violence for Alaska. It provides statewide and regional baselines that can be  used to support prevention and intervention efforts that reduce violence against women.  Data are used to guide planning and policy development, and to evaluate the impact of prevention and intervention services.
