Preferred term

Native American courts  

Definition

  • The ability of governments to regulate their society depends heavily on the ability of their justice systems to respond adequately to crime. The rising crime and victimization rates on American Indian and Alaska Native lands have heightened the attention to this matter for Native American courts. [Source: Encyclopedia of Race and Crime; Native American Courts]
