In addition to using force justified under other sections of this chapter, a person, acting as a private person, may use nondeadly force to make the arrest or terminate the escape or attempted escape from custody of a person who the private person reasonably believes has committed a misdemeanor in the private person's presence or a felony when and to the extent the private person reasonably believes it necessary to make that arrest or terminate that escape or attempted escape from custody. A private person may use deadly force under this section only when and to the extent the private person reasonably believes the use of deadly force is necessary to make the arrest or terminate the escape or attempted escape from custody of another who the private person reasonably believes (1) has committed or attempted to commit a felony which involved the use of force against a person; or (2) has escaped or is attempting to escape from custody while in possession of a firearm on or about the person.

2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 11. Criminal Law|Chapter 81. General Provisions|Article 4. General Principles of Justification.|Sec. 11.81.400. Justification: Use of force in resisting or interfering with arrest.

(a) A person may not use force to resist personal arrest or interfere with the arrest of another by a peace officer who is known by the person, or reasonably appears, to be a peace officer, whether the arrest is lawful or unlawful, unless (1) the force used by the peace officer exceeds that allowed under AS 11.81.370.

(b) Except as provided in (c) of this section, a guard or peace officer employed in a correctional facility or a peace officer in the immediate vicinity of a correctional facility at the time of an escape from the facility may use deadly force when and to the extent the guard or peace officer reasonably believes it necessary to terminate the escape or attempted escape of a prisoner from the correctional facility. (c) The use of deadly force under (b) of this section is not justified if the guard or peace officer knows that the prisoner was under official detention in the correctional facility on a charge of a misdemeanor and does not believe that the prisoner is armed with a firearm, in which event only nondeadly force may be used.

2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 11. Criminal Law|Chapter 81. General Provisions|Article 4. General Principles of Justification.|Sec. 11.81.420. Justification: Performance of public duty.

(a) Unless inconsistent with AS 11.81.320 - 11.81.410, conduct which would otherwise constitute an offense is justified when it is required or authorized by law or by a judicial decree, judgment, or order. (b) The justification afforded by this section also applies when (1) the person reasonably believes the conduct to be required or authorized by a decree, judgment, or order of a court of competent jurisdiction or in the lawful execution of legal process, notwithstanding lack of jurisdiction of the court or defect in the legal process; or (2) the person reasonably believes the conduct to be required or authorized to assist a peace officer in the performance of the officer's duties, notwithstanding that the officer exceeded the officer's authority.
AK Stat § 11.81.440 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 11. Criminal Law|Chapter 81. General Provisions|Article 4. General Principles of Justification.|Sec. 11.81.440. Duress.

(a) In any prosecution for an offense, it is an affirmative defense that the defendant engaged in the proscribed conduct because the defendant was coerced to do so by the use of unlawful force upon the defendant or a third person, which force a reasonable person in the defendant's situation would have been unable to resist. (b) The defense of duress is not available when one recklessly places oneself in a situation in which it is probable that one will be subject to duress.

2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 11. Criminal Law|Chapter 81. General Provisions|Article 4. General Principles of Justification.|Sec. 11.81.450. Entrapment.

In any prosecution for an offense, it is an affirmative defense that, in order to obtain evidence of the commission of an offense, a public law enforcement official or a person working in cooperation with the official induced the defendant to commit the offense by persuasion or inducement as would be effective to persuade an average person, other than one who is ready and willing, to commit the offense. Inducement or persuasion which would induce only a person engaged in an habitual course of unlawful conduct for gain or profit does not constitute entrapment.

2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 11. Criminal Law|Chapter 81. General Provisions|Article 6. General Principles of Criminal Liability.|Sec. 11.81.600. General requirements of culpability.

(a) The minimal requirement for criminal liability is the performance by a person of conduct that includes a voluntary act or the omission to perform an act that the person is capable of performing. (b) A person is not guilty of an offense unless the person acts with a culpable mental state, except that no culpable mental state must be proved (1) if the description of the offense does not specify a culpable mental state and the offense is (A) a violation; or (B) designated as one of “strict liability”; or (2) if a legislative intent to dispense with the culpable mental state requirement is present.
AK Stat § 11.81.610 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 11. Criminal Law|Chapter 81. General Provisions|Article 6. General Principles of Criminal Liability.|Sec. 11.81.610. Construction of statutes with respect to culpability.

(a) [Repealed, § 44 ch 102 SLA 1980.] (b) Except as provided in AS 11.81.600(b), if a provision of law defining an offense does not prescribe a culpable mental state, the culpable mental state that must be proved with respect to (1) conduct is “knowingly”; and (2) a circumstance or a result is “recklessly.” (c) When a provision of law provides that criminal negligence suffices to establish an element of an offense, that element is also established if a person acts intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly. If acting recklessly suffices to establish an element, that element also is established if a person acts intentionally or knowingly. If acting knowingly suffices to establish an element, that element is also established if a person acts intentionally.
AK Stat § 11.81.615 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 11. Criminal Law|Chapter 81. General Provisions|Article 6. General Principles of Criminal Liability.|Sec. 11.81.615. Offenses defined by age or value.

Whenever a provision of law defining an offense requires a determination of the age of the victim or the value of property or services, it is not a defense to the lowest class of offense established by the evidence that the age of the victim is less than the age which would make the offense a higher class of offense or that the value of the property or services exceeds the value which would make the offense a higher class of offense, and a person may be charged and convicted accordingly.
AK Stat § 11.81.620 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 11. Criminal Law|Chapter 81. General Provisions|Article 6. General Principles of Criminal Liability.|Sec. 11.81.620. Effect of ignorance or mistake upon liability.

(a) Knowledge, recklessness, or criminal negligence as to whether conduct constitutes an offense, or knowledge, recklessness, or criminal negligence as to the existence, meaning, or application of the provision of law defining an offense, is not an element of an offense unless the provision of law clearly so provides. Use of the phrase “intent to commit a crime”, “intent to promote or facilitate the commission of a crime”, or like terminology in a provision of law does not require that the defendant act with a culpable mental state as to the criminality of the conduct that is the object of the defendant's intent. (b) A person is not relieved of criminal liability for conduct because the person engages in the conduct under a mistaken belief of fact, unless (1) the factual mistake is a reasonable one that negates the culpable mental state required for the commission of the offense; (2) the provision of law defining the offense or a related provision of law expressly provides that the factual mistake constitutes a defense or exemption; or (3) the factual mistake is a reasonable one that supports a defense of justification as provided in AS 11.81.320 - 11.81.430.
AK Stat § 11.81.630 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 11. Criminal Law|Chapter 81. General Provisions|Article 6. General Principles of Criminal Liability.|Sec. 11.81.630. Intoxication as a defense.

Voluntary intoxication is not a defense to a prosecution for an offense, but evidence that the defendant was intoxicated may be offered whenever it is relevant to negate an element of the offense that requires that the defendant intentionally cause a result.
AK Stat § 11.81.640 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 11. Criminal Law|Chapter 81. General Provisions|Article 6. General Principles of Criminal Liability.|Sec. 11.81.640. Application of AS 11.81.600 - 11.81.630.

(d) In addition to the criminal liability in (c) of this section, an officer having a prisoner in custody who refuses to allow an attorney to visit the prisoner when proper application is made therefor shall forfeit and pay to the party aggrieved the sum of $500, recoverable in a court of competent jurisdiction.
