The Crime Summit opened with a presentation by Annie Pennucci, Senior Research Associate with the Washington State Institute for Public Policy on "More Education, Less Crime: Research Evidence and Policy Implications." Representatives from agencies and organization made presentations to the group about justice in Alaska: what is new, what strategies are working, what resources are needed, what programs are successful, and how the legislature can assist agencies and organizations in this work.
Participants included the Alaska Court System, Alaska Public Defender Agency, Office of Public Advocacy, Standing Together Against Rape (STAR), Alaska Native Justice Center, Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority, Partners for Progress, Division of Juvenile Justice, Department of Public Safety, Department of Corrections, the U.S. Attorney's Office, Alaska State Troopers, Municipality of Anchorage, Anchorage Police Department, Palmer Police Department, and others.
A similar Crime Summit was held four years ago in Juneau in 2008. Senator Hollis French (D) is the Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The results of the 2011 Alaska Victimization Survey on intimate partner violence and sexual violence against women were released in October 2011, with results for Alaska statewide, the Municipality of Anchorage, Bristol Bay, the City of Fairbanks, Fairbanks North Star Borough, and the City and Borough of Juneau.
