The UAA Justice Center, established by the Alaska legislature in 1975, has a mandate to provide statewide justice‐related education, research, and service. The Justice Center is an interdisciplinary unit that provides undergraduate, graduate, and professional education; conducts research in the areas of crime, law, and justice; and provides service to government units, justice agencies, and community organizations throughout urban and rural Alaska to promote a safe, healthy, and just society.

We are an academic and research unit in the College of Health in the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA). UAA is a four-year institution accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCUU). We offer academic programs in Justice and in Legal Studies. The Legal Studies programs are approved by the American Bar Association. Our faculty conduct research in a number of areas including violence and violent crime, law and the courts, substance abuse, rural justice issues, homelessness, policing, and juvenile justice. The Alaska Justice Statistical Analysis Center (AJSAC) and the Alaska Justice Information Center (AJiC) are housed in the Justice Center. Our research publications include the Alaska Justice Forum and the AJSAC Fact Sheet.
