AJiC is the acronym for the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) Justice Center’s research center, the Alaska Justice Information Center. Since 1986, Alaska’s federally designated statistical analysis center (SAC) has been housed in the UAA Justice Center. In its role as Alaska’s SAC, AJiC assists Alaska justice agencies and organizations, with the development, implementation, and evaluation of justice programs and policies by collecting and analyzing Alaska-specific crime and justice statistics. AJiC also pursues SAC-specific funding opportunities provided by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics for special projects and research initiatives to advance criminal justice policy and practice in the state. There are currently 53 SACs located in the United States and its territories.
AJiC is a member of the Justice Information Resource Network (JIRN), a national nonprofit organization and resource center for statistical analysis centers, criminological researchers, justice data analysts, and justice practitioners.

The Alaska Victimization Survey (AVS) released a new report about the health of women who have experienced Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). Physical violence is a part of IPV, but it also includes things like controlling behaviors, threats of harm, and inflicting harm against people and things an intimate partner cares about. Dr. Ingrid Johnson with AVS told the Alaska Beacon these sorts of behaviors can have a lasting impact.
