Abstract

This paper examines the coverage of American Indians and Alaskan Natives (AI/AN) in the most widely read introductory criminal justice and criminology books published between 2004 and 2010. The current research extends upon Young’s (J Crim Justice Educ 1:111–116, 1990) assessment of AI/ANs in criminal justice and criminology introductory textbooks, where he found no mention of AI/ANs. The replication of Young (J Crim Justice Educ 1:111–116, 1990) is especially important because AI/ANs continue to face a wide array of social issues (i.e. substance abuse and poverty), which leads to an overrepresentation of AI/ANs in the criminal justice system. To accomplish this, a content analysis was conducted on thirty-one introductory criminal justice and criminology textbooks to determine whether AI/ANs have received more academic coverage in current textbooks. The findings reveal that introductory criminal justice and criminology textbooks still under represent AI/ANs despite experiencing crime, victimization, and justice related problems.

Notes

  1. Introductory textbooks were excluded from the analyses if they were readers such as Introduction to Criminology by Craig Hemmens and Anthony Walsh in (2008), and texts that had an international concentration Introduction to International Criminal Justice by Mangai Natarajan (2005). Additionally, Crime and Criminology by Rob White and Fiona Haines (2009), Theories of Crime edited by Ian Marsh, and Criminal Justice: An Introduction Philosophies, Theories, and Practice by Ian Marsh, John Cochrane, and Gaynor Melville (2004) were also excluded due to the books focus on Australia and the United Kingdom. Lastly, Criminal Justice Interactive by Robert J. Mutchnick (2010) was also excluded because the textbook was a companion to an internet course.
