"Compass" piece appears in Anchorage Daily News about violence against women and Alaska Victimization Survey

"Act to end violence against Alaska women," an opinion piece, appeared in the Anchorage Daily News Compass section on Sunday, November 6, 2011.  This essay was written by Lauree Morton, Executive Director, Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, and Dr. André Rosay, Justice Center Director, and principal investigator for the Alaska Victimization Survey.

The piece discusses the high rates of violence against women in Alaska and the Alaska Victimization Survey, and describes ways communities and individuals can make a difference. Details on the survey are available at the Justice Center website (http://justice.uaa.alaska.edu/avs/index.html).
