If you give a young man a poor education and put him in a place where there is no economy and no jobs for which he has the connections or qualifications, what do you expect to happen?   Even if he has the good sense to leave the village to seek work and opportunity the poor education, lack of appropriate acculturation, and the likelihood that he has engaged in substance abuse severely limit his opportunities.   Turning to crime and substance abuse is almost inevitable.   Unfortunately talking abut the root causes is the third rail of Alaska politics.
