About the Authors
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.
