And this is different from metro areas like Anchorage exactly how?  Every community of any size will have a /small/ number of people who can't cope and fall into the bottle so hard that they become chronic criminals.  I've been stationed in two different villages as a VPSO and did tdy in several others.  In every single case, there was only 2-3% of the population that were chronic troublemakers but they accounted for 90+% of the calls.

I now live in a village that is "dry". I've walked into houses that had ~$1,000 worth of empty bootlegged bottles laying on the counter, but the kids were doing without basics.  People are going to drink no matter what, so open a City-owned store and sell the bottle for $25 instead of the $175 bootleg price.  The alcoholics will drink a little more, but they are not going to drink 15+ bottles more which means they have money left over for their families and the city has the tax revenue to hire /and retain/ effective law enforcement and social services.
