Crossing disciplines, this important anthology, which includes the voices of both Native Americans and non-Native Americans, provides students in criminology, sociology, and Native American studies courses with articles ranging from the scholarly to the more humanistic. Also included are a number of news accounts that complement the other pieces with a sense of immediacy and timeliness about the involvement of Native Americans in the criminal justice system.

Students and general readers alike will come away from reading this collection with a better, more informed understanding of Native Americans, crime, and justice whether they are learning about the unique problem of tribal versus federal jurisdiction on Indian lands, patterns of Native American crime, the process of decision making in tribal courts, or Native American delinquency.
