Results from the 2015 Alaska Victimization Survey for the Municipality of Anchorage were released at a press conference at Lucy Cuddy Hall on the campus of University of Alaska Anchorage on Friday, August 26, at 1:30 PM.

The survey, conducted by the UAA Justice Center through a contract with the Alaska Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (CDVSA), was designed to measure lifetime and past-year experiences of sexual violence and intimate partner violence.  A brief overview of the survey was followed by a presentation of the data and a discussion of the results.  The 2015 results were also compared to results from the 2010–2011 victimization surveys.

Results from a 2015 survey which measured the prevalence of sexual misconduct and sexual assault against UAA students, both on and off campus, were also presented.
