Abstract:
The aim of the project is to create an interactive dashboard showing patterns and trends in intimate partner violence across the state of Alaska, using data from previous Alaska Victimization Surveys [2010-2015]. A public, interactive dashboard will increase the use of these data, to inform the development and implementation of domestic violence service programs and provision in Alaska....The IPV-IDD [intimate partner violence interactive data dashboard]...provides a range of important IPV information for use by domestic violence providers, policymakers, and members of the public. With this tool, users can explore multiple dimensions of IPV including overall prevalence (Summary of IPV tab), the frequency of specific IPV behaviors as well as the number of romantic or sexual partners that engaged in those behaviors (Behaviors & Partners tab), the extent to which victims experience multiple forms of IPV (Types & Severity tab), and the service needs of those who recently experienced IPV. Importantly, with the exception of the data included on the Victim Services page, users of the tool can examine the extent to which patterns in the data vary according to victim race/ethnicity, victim age, and victim household income. [CVRL Note: this report is a collaboration between Alaska Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (CDVSA) and the Alaska Justice Information Center (AJiC). The partnership is part of the 2020 cohort of the Center for Victim Research's funded collaborations between state Victims of Crime Act offices and Statistical Analysis Centers (VOCA-SAC). Each report includes a final segment discussing the research partnership, the future of the partnership, and how the results will inform stakeholders and practice.] (Author Text)
