Native Americans and the Criminal Justice System
Paradigm Publishers, April 2006, Pages: 290
Native Americans and the Criminal Justice System offers a comprehensive approach to explaining the causes, effects, and solutions for the presence and plight of Native Americans in the criminal justice system.
Contributions from scholars and experts in Native American issues examine the ways in which society's response to Native Americans is often socially constructed. The contributors work to dispel the myths surrounding the crimes committed by Native Americans and blanket assertions about the role of criminal justice agencies that interact with Native Americans.
In doing so, the contributors emphasize the historical, social, and cultural roots of Anglo-European conflicts with Native peoples and how they are manifested in the criminal justice system. Selected chapters also consider the global and cross-national ramifications of Native Americans and crime. This book systematically analyzes the broad nature of the subject area, including unique and emerging problems, theoretical issues, and policy implications.
