Summary

Bond-Maupin, Lisa and Goodtracks, Taka X and Maupin, James R. (2006). Research on Juvenile Deliquency in Indian Communities: Resisting Generalization In, Ross, Jeffrey Ian and Gould, Larry, editors, Native Americans and the Criminal Justice System, Paradigm Publisher, Boulder, London. Pp.187-196

In this chapter, we review the small body of literature on delinquency in Indian communities and discuss the limitations of using the Uniform Crime Reports, Bureau of Indian Affairs and off-reservation date to make generalizations about the experience of Indian peoples with crime across the nation. We conclude with an analysis of eleven years of tribal arrest/booking data from one American Indian community not previously studies and discuss the implications of this research for future study.
