Alaska is popular for many types of criminals especially those on the run from law enforcement.
The wide and difficult terrain in Alaska is a huge challenge for law enforcement. There are many villages and communities located in extremely remote areas, with some only accessible by boat or plane.
It's one of the primary reasons why Alaska has the highest violent crime rate and the 13th highest property crime rate in the US. With that said, crime rates declined in The Last Frontier compared to the previous year.
- Regardless, a lot of people ignore Alaska's crime problems and then play political finger-pointing bullshit with other states. In fact, it's common to see such in a Presidential election year and then again just before the mid-term elections.
The big plus of living in Alaska... it's one of those states that share its energy profits with Alaskan residents in the form of a yearly dividend. Last year's yearly dividend was $1,114 dollars to every Alaskan. This year it's scheduled to be a whopping $3,200 dollars for every resident thanks to higher energy costs in the rest of the United States.
