FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Indigenous Criminology is the first book to comprehensively explore Indigenous peoples contact with criminal justice systems in a contemporary and historical context.

Review "A welcome contribution to the decolonization paradigm in Criminology, a discipline that is complicit in the enslavement, colonization, genocidization and criminalization of Others with repressive fetishes of western modernity." Biko Agozino, editor, African Journal of Criminology"A major original contribution providing a valuable theoretical comparative perspective to the limits of traditional Western criminology by defying the status quo and giving Indigenous people a criminological voice." Stuart Henry, San Diego State University"Thoroughly researched, brilliantly argued, this powerful critique of mainstream criminology carves an elegant and welcome path to critical and responsive Indigenous-informed criminology."
