Garrow and Sarah Deer discuss the histories, structures, and practices of tribal justice systems, comparisons of traditional tribal justice with American law and jurisdictions, elements of criminal law and procedure, and alternative sentencing and traditional sanctions. New features of the second edition include new chapters on: · The Tribal Law and Order Act's Enhanced Sentencing Provisions · The Violence Against Women Act's Special Domestic Violence Criminal Jurisdiction · Tribal-State Collaboration Tribal Criminal Law and Procedure is an invaluable resource for legal scholars and students. The book is published in cooperation with the Tribal Law and Policy Institute (visit them at www.tlpi.org).
Carrie Garrow and Sarah Deer’s Tribal Criminal Law and Procedure is an excellent resource for students, practitioners, or anyone else seeking to understand tribal justice systems from a tribal perspective. This book successfully weaves together shared experiences of colonization as well as core criminal justice concepts to provide a broad, yet focused, treatment of the field from its history through its most recent developments. -- M. Brent Leonhard, attorney, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation
This book is a must-read for tribal, federal and state practitioners, judges, officials, and citizens to understand the framework of tribal criminal law and its roots in traditional norms. From the historical to the contemporary, the authors have skillfully presented a thorough and engaging view of tribal criminal issues. -- Angelique EagleWoman, Sisseton-Wahpeton Dakota, University of Idaho College of Law
Tribal Criminal Law and Procedure has proven to be an important tool for college and professional students at any level in developing the leaders and thinkers to meet these Indian country goals through the development of tribal law. Moreover, this new edition makes accessible the ongoing changes and developments in tribal, federal, and state law and policy of the last decade. The authors, leaders in the field, are to be commended and thanked for this project. -- Matthew L.M. Fletcher, director of the Indigenous Law & Policy Center, Michigan State University
