Sobering statistics in a new report from the UAA Justice Center, the Alaska Victimization
Survey: Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, have
been a hot news topic this past week. In a survey of more than 1,000 Mat-Su Borough-area
women, more than half report that they have experienced intimate partner or sexual
violence in their lifetime, sparking conversations among social service agencies and
lighting up the radar of lawmakers. See the news roundup as well as the full report on the Justice Center blog.
