Protective Social Services: Alaska's Response to Meeting the Safety Needs of Its Population

Abstract

This article explores the interrelated issues and policies represented in the pluralistic mix of government, private nonprofit, for profit, and Native Alaskan organizations responding to the safety needs of Alaska's population. It assesses the provision of social services in responding to the need for health care, preventing crime, and interpersonal violence. Recognized is the need for partnerships to be formed between government and other social service providers in the State in order to be successful. The article will conclude by considering future prospects that may exist for the amelioration of these issues both nationally and in the state.
