Indigenous Criminology

Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Indigenous Criminology provides the first comprehensive examination of Indigenous peoples' interactions with criminal justice systems, both historically and in contemporary contexts. Drawing on examples from North America, Australia, and Aotearoa New Zealand, it explores the theoretical foundations for a distinct Indigenous criminology while highlighting significant policy and practice issues. The authors emphasise the importance of Indigenous knowledge and methodologies, arguing that colonialism must be central to understanding modern challenges like deaths in custody, disproportionate imprisonment rates, police violence, and community violence in Indigenous populations. Prioritising Indigenous voices, this book advances the development of a decolonising criminology.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Indigenous Criminology is the first book to comprehensively explore Indigenous people's contact with criminal justice systems in a contemporary and historical context. Drawing on comparative Indigenous material from North America, Australia, and Aotearoa New Zealand, it addresses both the theoretical underpinnings to the development of a specific Indigenous criminology and canvasses the broader policy and practice implications for criminal justice.

Written by leading criminologists specialising in Indigenous justice issues, the book argues for the importance of Indigenous knowledges and methodologies to criminology. It suggests that colonialism needs to be a fundamental concept to criminology in order to understand contemporary problems such as deaths in custody, high imprisonment rates, police brutality, and the high levels of violence in some Indigenous communities.

Prioritising the voices of Indigenous peoples, the work will make a significant contribution to the development of a decolonising criminology and will be of wide interest.

Given police violence and the failure of many attempts at reform, attention has turned to other models of managing criminality, including defunding the police and instead funding alternatives to criminalisation and incarceration. Defund the Police is the first...
