Annotation

These conversion tables are designed for use with the Alaska Offender-Based Transaction Statistics (OBTS) database and the "Alaska Criminal Statute Cross-Reference Guide."

Abstract

The tables are designed to allow users of printed versions of the "Guide" to quickly convert Alaska statutes to their corresponding National Criminal Information Center (NCIC), Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), Alaska OBTS, and Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) codes. The first and second columns in each table lists the statute and class. Alaska's criminal statutes are classified according to type of offense (felony or misdemeanor, violation, or infraction) or length of sentence which can be imposed. Some statutes have multiple classifications as well as multiple levels of seriousness, depending on the circumstances of the case. The statutes in these conversion tables have been broken down into relevant subsections in order to assign the corresponding codes more specifically.
