Commentary: Collaborative Problem Solving with Liquor Stores

This article appears exclusively in the online edition of the Alaska Justice Forum.This article recounts the history of a successful community-based collaborative problem-solving process in the Fairview neighborhood in Anchorage to resolve a seemingly intractable public disorder problem associated with two area liquor stores. The story is an example of the "co-production of public safety" — residents actively working together with police and others to solve neighborhood problems, rather than waiting passively for police or other government officials to find solutions. The author is a member of the leadership of the Fairview Community Council and an academic and researcher with expertise in using community partnerships to address public safety concerns.[Introduction] Angry Residents Demand Closure of Liquor Stores / FVCC Adopts Collaborative Process / Action and Assessment Plan / APD Monitors Liquor Stores / Opposing Liquor License / Co-Production of Public Safet
