Abstract
Approximately 20 percent of Alaska's population live in small remote Native villages. Very little factual data regarding contemporary criminal justice operations has been compiled. For example, comprehensive data concerning present crime rates, policing methods, and local deviancy control mechanisms in rural Alaska simply do not exist. The research underlying this paper was an exploratory effort to begin the collection of crime and justice information which can be used in criminal justice policy development in rural areas of the state by the State of Alaska.
Description
This paper is in essence an abstract of portions of a more detailed report, Alaskan Village Justice: An Exploratory Study (1979). https://scholarworks.alaska.edu/handle/11122/4154
