Policing American Indians (eBook, ePUB)

A Unique Chapter in American Jurisprudence

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the injustices of bias, prejudice, and corruption in American jurisprudence concerning American Indians. It illustrates how, despite changes in the law to correct past injustices, a subculture of discrimination often persists in law enforcement. It gives examples of the use of police in extra-legal confrontations and of the US military to police American Indians. It also examines policy changes regarding American Indians throughout US history, including recent changes in response to issues of national security after September 11, 2001.
