I am especially grateful to the Ahtna people and the residents of the Copper River Basin for supporting my research and showing me their way of life. Without the information and knowledge they shared with me, this thesis could not have been written. Further, I want to thank Robbin LaVine, from the Anthropology Division of the Office of Subsistence Management and James Van Lanen, from the Division of Subsistence, Alaska Department of Fish & Game, who guided me to the case of the Ahtna and who supported me on site in many ways. My sincere thanks go to my supervisor Peter Schweitzer for his theoretical input and his patience. I am grateful for the emotional and practical support of my girlfriend Elke. Without her motivation and encouragement this thesis would still be in the process of writing.

  • Felony Level Sex Offenses 2016: Crime in Alaska Supplemental Report
    Department of Public Safety OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER Walt Monegan 5700 East Tudor Road GOVERNOR BILL WALKER Anchorage, Alaska 99507-1225 Main: 907.269.5086 Fax: 907.269.4543 150 3rd Street PO Box 111200 Juneau, Alaska 99811-1200 Main: 907.465.4322 Fax: 907.465.4362 October 26, 2017 The Honorable Bill Walker Governor of Alaska Ms. Jahna Lindemuth Attorney General Dear Governor Walker and Attorney General Lindemuth: Attached please find the second annual Felony Level Sex Offense Crime in Alaska Supplemental Report (FSO Report). As you are aware, the FSO Report is the result of many years of work by my staff, in partnership with sister law enforcement agencies, to develop and bring to fruition a more sophisticated, detail rich, method to collect information about sexual assault crimes in our state. Although this process has not been without challenges, the product, and the reliability of the data produced, continues to improve. You will note that the current FSO Report, similar to last year’s, shows an increase in reported felony level sexual assaults. An increase in reporting may, but does not necessarily, mean an increase in actual crime. The DPS Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault has made prevention education, outreach and public awareness about all forms of interpersonal violence a critical priority for the past eight years. These efforts include focusing on evidence-based prevention strategies such as the Green Dot campaign, Coaching Boys into Men, Girls on the Run and other efforts. In addition the Council worked diligently to expand public education and awareness campaigns to change public attitudes, knowledge and beliefs about domestic violence and sexual assault.

The support I received from others at the University of Alaska Anchorage Justice Center was invaluable and I could not have completed this research without it. I would like thank Antonia Moras for her patient editorial assistance, Bob Langworthy for his direction and assistance in the data analysis stage, Jan Brewer for her guidance through the maze of university bureaucracy, Melissa Green for her meticulous data scanning handiwork, Brian Lepine for his proofreading, and Jason Werre and Shane Aubrey for all of their support in the sample identification, survey administration, and data entry portions of the research. This research also would not have been possible without the groundbreaking work on policing in Alaska Native villages by former Justice Center faculty members John Angell and Otwin Marenin. A number of individuals affiliated with the Alaska State Troopers supported this research. Simon Brown, Mike Dekreon, Glenn Flothe, Jim Hibpshman, Doug Norris, Bob Sanders, and, especially, Gail O’Farrell, all at one time or another made this research much easier than it could have been. Thank you all. Many of the VPSO Coordinators from the regional non-profit corporations also provided support for this study.
