Native Americans and the Criminal Justice System [Hardcover]

'This collection presents significant summaries of past criminal behavior, and significant new cultural and political contextualizations that provide greater understanding of the complex effects of crime, sovereignty, culture, and colonization on crime and criminalization on Indian reservations.' Duane Champagne, UCLA (From the Foreword) 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. Articles 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 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.Foreword Duane Champagne Preface and Acknowledgments PART I: Introduction Chapter 1: Native Americans, Criminal Justice, Criminological Theory, and Policy Development Jeffrey Ian Ross and Larry Gould PART II: Theoretical Issues in the Area of Native Americans and Criminal Justice Chapter 2: Navajo Criminal Justice: A Jungian Perspective Marilyn Holly Chapter 3: Criminalizing Culture: An Anthropologist Looks at Native Americans and the U.S. Legal System Dorothy H.
