Perhaps the statistics are correct, but don't forget that every time the Alaska's economy is in decline, like it happened in the early to mid '80s, crimes such as burglary and other goes up. What makes matters worst this time is that now we have a lot more people living in Alaska than in the bust of the '80s. More people, more drugs and junkies, more crime and less money to combat it.
That said, I am not defending Walker by any means. I just know that crime goes up in bad times.

IMHO the crime is related to the import of miscreants both domestic and foreign who never had any intention of working so the economic conditions likely have little to do with it. The face of Anchorage has changed dramatically in the past 5 years.

Then I visited around 25 years ago and was shocked. I thought that I was in some foreign country.

The Russians that escaped under communism are generally decent people. Those that left after the fall of communism are generally the worst sort of scheming underhanded free loaders.

Property crimes in Alaska rose nearly 19 percent last year, according to the FBI. It was the biggest increase in the nation, which has overall seen property crime drop 2 percent.

And it's because weed is legal, right? Cause and effect are mighty hard to prove, but a big budget increase and a chopped PFD speak to an idiot at the wheel.

Not being in the thick of things there anymore, isn't there also now a law that allows for more criminals to roam free?

Weed has been legal now for several years here in Colorado. I believe crime has gone up now. Mostly because pot is legal and it draws more people in the state from surrounding states.

With travel costs, border crossing and airport x-rays I don't think we an issue with weed tourists. Meth and heroine seem to the drug of choice for scum bags, er ah people who have a history of making bad choices.
