Abstract:
This presentation describes youth violence in Anchorage by providing initial
comparisons between current Anchorage conditions and conditions of the past
five to ten years, as well as initial comparisons between Anchorage and
the rest of the U.S. Data shows that youth violence in Anchorage is not
a serious problem, is at levels similar to or lower than national rates
of youth violence, and is declining in Anchorage as it is nationally. Youth
violence is also not perceived to be a serious problem in Anchorage, according
to a public survey of Anchorage residents. Nonetheless, efforts to reduced
and prevent youth violence in Anchorage are necessary; this progress report
identifies some successful programs, and suggests how to develop policies
to reduce levels of youth violence in Anchorage.
