BIO
Ingrid Diane Johnson is an assistant professor in the Justice Center. Raised in Delta Junction and Fairbanks in Interior Alaska, Dr. Johnson received her B.A. in Justice from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and completed both an M.A. and Ph.D. in Criminal Justice at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. The focus of much of Dr. Johnson’s research is on help-seeking among survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence and sexual assault, and how formal and informal networks can improve those processes. Dr. Johnson's research at Temple University included rural and urban differences in relation to criminal justice, and access to substance abuse treatment for individuals involved in the criminal justice system. She has published peer-reviewed studies in the Journal of Behavioral Health Services & Research, the International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology, and the Journal of Interpersonal Violence. In August 2020, She is currently the principal investigator for the Federal Bureau of Justice Assistance funded Alaska Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (AK-SAKI), working in partnership with the Alaska Department of Public Safety to improve how the Alaska State Troopers and their various legal, medical, and victim advocacy partners investigate, prosecute, and provide victim engagement and support in sexual assault cases. She is also the principal investigator for the Alaska Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault funded 2020 Alaska Victimization Survey (AVS), which will provide up-to-date statewide prevalence data on adult women’s experiences with sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence.
