I would never have expected Alaska to be the worst for violent crime. I wonder what explains that?

Probably just more honest reporting.

Alaska has legal Marijuana . I saw zombies this summer walking the streets of Anchorage. Fair banks was not much better.

Imho The natives are drawn to drugs and more likely to exhibit signs of mental illness. It's so bad, alcohol is banned in several towns.
