Fund an increase in law enforcment in Alaska to help a rape epidemic from getting worse.

Created by T.S. on May 18, 2014

Today Alaska is the leading state in "Forceable Rape Per One Hundred Thousand" and that is mainly because Alaskan law enforcement is either too far or not determined enough to do anything about it. The Alaskan vastness can keep police a plane fight away from where a victim is being attacked or in some people's case when a "19-year-old Native Alaska woman called the police after a stranger broke into her home and raped her in the middle of the night, the Times reported in 2012. The police didn't answer, so she left a message. They never returned her call."
