Safe Communities

We believe it is an essential role of state government to protect Alaskans from crime.

Crime prevention and criminal punishment are both essential elements of that responsibility.

Democrats believe that the former can only be achieved through comprehensive job training, education, and the provision of opportunity.

Democrats believe the best way to deal with crime is at the source by strengthening families and providing opportunity.

We believe in empowering communities to help protect themselves from crime.
