Title: Evaluation of the Rural Alaska Alcohol Interdiction, Investigation, and Prosecution Program
Summary: This report provides results of an evaluatoin of efforts to curb the trafficking of beverage alcohol into isolated Alaskan villages with local alcohol prohibitions. The study reported the following findings: (1) the design is well-conceived and based upon a logically sound model; (2) is being implemented as intended, particularly over the past two years; (3) is organizationally stable; (4) has increased the number of arrests, prosecution, and convictions for alcohol law violations, as well as seizures of bootlegged alcohol; (5) has not produced a statistically significant impact on the target outcomes of reduced crime, accidental deaths, or injuries; and (6) may be transferable to other areas of Alaska, but is probably not transferable to most other parts of the contiguous U.S. without substantial modifications.
