This book seeks to address a significant void in the scholarship on
policing Native American communities. It is the first book to
explore Native Americans' perspectives on the ways in which Native
American communities especially those in and around reservations
are both over and underpoliced in ways that perpetuate both the
criminalization and the victimization of Native Americans as
nations and as individuals. Drawing upon a series of interviews
conducted with 278 Native Americans from seven states, Policing
Race and Place in Indian Country uncovers patterns of hate crime
against Native Americans as well as a general dissatisfaction with
the nature of law enforcement in their communities. Participants
reported activities ranging from willful blindness to Native
American victimization at one extreme, to overt forms of police
harassment and violence at the other. What emerges from these
descriptions is the recognition that the patterns observed by the
participants of the study are an extension of a lengthy history of
systemic racism against Native Americans. Policing Race and Place
in Indian Country is one of the first books to address the policing
of Native American communities. While there are several studies
that investigate the racialized nature and context of policing,
most only refer to Native Americans in passing. By focusing solely
on the Native American community, the book is appealing to scholars
writing on race and policing or criminal justice."
