Abstract
Indigenous Criminology comprehensively explores Indigenous people’s contact with criminal justice systems in a contemporary and historical context. It addresses both the theoretical underpinnings of the development of a specific Indigenous criminology, and canvasses the broader policy and practice implications for criminal justice.

The high arrest rate in the sample (45%) suggests that certain tenets of Indigenous criminology manifest within the sample, such as over policing and harsher punishment.
“Our sample further shows that almost half (45%) of participants had been arrested a least one time during the study period, suggesting that certain tenants of Indigenous criminology manifest within our sample, such as over policing and harsher punishment (Cunneen & Tauri, 2016).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
