Annotation
              This video and accompanying transcript from a National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Research for the Real World seminar covers a presentation and discussion of the first set of estimates from a 2010  national large-scale survey of violence against women and men who identified themselves as American Indian or Alaska Native.
Abstract
              The survey consisted of behaviorally specific questions on victimizations that included  psychological aggression, coercive control and entrapment, physical violence, stalking, and sexual violence.  The survey obtained  responses from just over 1,500  men and just under 2,500 women who identified themselves as American Indian or as Alaska Native.  The seminar presentation from the director of   the study presents five key conclusions based on survey findings.  First, most American Indian and Alaska Native adults have experienced violence at some time in their lives.  A second key conclusion is that American Indian and Alaska Native men and women are victimized at similar rates, but  in different ways.  Women were more likely than men to have experienced stalking and sexual violence.   Third, the study determined that the  victimization rates were significantly higher for American Indians and Alaska Natives than for people who identified themselves as White  and as non-Hispanic.  Fourth,  female victims were found  to be more likely than  male victims to need services because of their victimization; however, they were significantly less likely to have access to the needed services.  Fifth, interracial violence was significantly more prevalent than intraracial violence.  Following the presentation,  a panel of representatives from the Office of the Vice President and the U.S. Justice Department's  Offices for Victims of Crime and Violence Against Women discussed the implications of and responses to  the disproportionate violence experienced by American Indian and Alaska Native women and men.
