The Justice Center at the University of Alaska Anchorage has contributed to the development of justice administration in Alaska through research, education and community service since 1975. The Justice Center recognizes a mission to promote understanding of the justice system throughout both rural and urban Alaska.
     The Justice Center addresses its mission in a variety of ways. Justice Center staff conduct research in the areas of crime, law, law enforcement, and the administration of both civil and criminal justice. The theoretical research of the Justice Center contributes to the development of the UAA academic curriculum and also serves as the underpinning for Justice Center work in community education and public service. Since its inception, the Justice Center has also been particularly committed to research on cross-cultural issues as a means for improving Alaska justice administration and for broadening educational opportunities for the Alaska Native community.
     The Justice Center includes the Alaska Justice Statistical Analysis Center (SAC), a program funded by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Department of Justice, which makes the results of national research on justice issues available to the Alaska community.
     Justice Center products include books, papers, reports to public agencies, and television and radio documentaries. Justice Center staff provide legislators and other public officials with assistance in the organization and preparation of materials for public policy formulation. In addition, Center-sponsored conferences and a quarterly publication, the Alaska Justice Forum, permit the exchange of ideas in the justice field.
