Domestic Violence Laws in Alaska.

Alaska protection-order practice is governed primarily by AS 18.66, which allows victims of domestic violence to obtain civil protection orders. Alaska criminal law in Title 11 provides parallel criminal offenses for domestic-violence conduct, and firearm-possession restrictions follow a protection order in many circumstances.
