The
Spring 2016 issue of the Alaska Justice Forum includes articles focusing on University of Alaska students' disclosures of sexual misconduct and sexual assault victimizations; a summary of the provisions of the criminal justice reform measure Senate Bill 91 "Omnibus Criminal Law & Procedure; Corrections" enacted into law in July 2016 ; and findings from a survey of Anchorage adults on perceptions of youth marijuana use and youth non-medical use of prescription drugs.
This article uses data collected for the University of Alaska Campus Climate Survey
to explore how often University of Alaska (UA) students who experienced sexual misconduct
or sexual assault, either on or off campus, disclosed their victimizations to others.
The likelihood of victimization disclosure in relation to the type of victimization,
the persons or institutions to whom disclosure was made, and the demographic characteristics
of UA student victims are also examined.
This article highlights provisions of Senate Bill 91, "Omnibus Criminal Law & Procedure;
Corrections Act," related to the recommendations of the Alaska Criminal Justice Commission.
SB91 was signed into law on July 11, 2016.
This article examines results of the Adult Perceptions of Anchorage Youth: 2015 Survey
(APAYS) to examine perceptions and concerns of Anchorage adults, both parents and
non-parents, about youth marijuana use and youth non-medical use of prescription drugs.
A resource list is included.
