The Alaska Veterans Court is a special court within the Alaska Court System which assists veterans charged with misdemeanors by connecting them with Department of Veterans Affairs resources to address treatment, rehabilitation, and possibly housing needs and employment referrals. The Alaska Veterans Court is a cooperative effort of the Alaska Court system, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Anchorage Municipal Prosecutor’s office.
The purpose of this project is to establish a control group of veterans charged with felonies or misdemeanors who have not used the Veterans Court for comparison of recidivism rates with veterans who have participated in the Veterans Court.
