Dr. Rosay authors National Institute of Justice report on violence against American Indian and Alaska Native men and women

Dr. Andre´ Rosay, National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Visiting Executive Research Fellow, is the author of a report recently published by NIJ,  "Violence Against American Indian and Alaska Native Women and Men: 2010 Findings from the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey."

The report finds that violence against American Indians and Alaska Natives is more common than violence against others - far more common than previous research indicated, and that more than 4 out of 5 American Indian and Alaska Native adults have experienced some form of violence in their lifetime. Estimates of sexual violence, physical violence by intimate partners, stalking, and psychological aggression by intimate partners are also found in the report.
