Add Someone to the Database

Inclusion criteria

This database includes people who meet the following criteria:

• They are alive.

• They are associated with Alaska (e.g., they live/lived here, spend time here).

• They were reported to the police for violence against women or gender non-conforming individuals, primarily:

  • Assault or harassment against an intimate partner (intimate partners include those who someone only met with once, if that meeting was for romantic/sexual purposes)

  • Sexual assault

  • and/or stalking.

• The above report(s) is/are not available in Alaska Courtview and/or the Alaska Sex Offender Registry. Not that for offenses reported in Alaska, cases where no charges were pursued or that did not result in a guilty conviction are not included in Courtview or the Alaska Sex Offender Registry. For offenses reported outside of Alaska, most states do not have a publicly available database such as Courtview.

Submission criteria

Only the person who filed the police report may submit a person to be included on the website. Exceptions will be made only in cases when the survivor is deceased or can confirm that they have asked someone else to make the submission for them.

Only submissions for which the website managers can confirm a report to police was made will be included. No exceptions.

Process

Step 1. Email alaskafightsback@gmail.com with the following:

• Your preferred method of contact (email, text, phone call, Facebook messenger, etc). This will not be publicly shared but will be used to verify data submitted and any other follow up communications necessary.

• Information on the person reported to the police:

  • Full name

  • Aliases (other names they use)

  • Date of birth

  • Race/ethnicity

  • Height/weight/eye color/hair color (these should be included in the police report)

  • Specific locations in Alaska relevant to (where they live or have lived, where they spend time, etc)

  • Any other relevant identifying information (piercings, tattoos, etc)

  • Recent pictures

• Summary of report(s) against them that are not documented in Alaska Courtview, including:

  • Police agency reported to

  • Case number (this will not be publicly shared, but stored in our records to protect against civil lawsuits)

  • Copy of police report (this will not be publicly shared, but stored in our records to protect against civil lawsuits)

• Summary of other documented VAW (such as protective orders in Courtview)

• Other notes as relevant

• Whether you are amenable to removing the person from the database if they take full responsibility and participate in meaningful process (with external accountability) to change their behaviors (this will not be publicly shared).

  Step 2. Someone will look over your materials to determine if the person meets the inclusion criteria. They may reach out to you fill in any needed gaps. Safety concerns and safety plans will also be discussed.

  
  Step 3. Once inclusion criteria are verified and intent behind the entry are confirmed, the person will be added to the database.
