Abstract

Using a binder format, references are organized according to five categories: bibliographies and directories, contemporary studies, administration of justice, northern law and justice, and health and welfare. Demographic and socioeconomic research, constitutional rights, and education are treated in the contemporary studies section. Among the areas covered by administration of justice are adult crime, delinquency, native police, tribal courts, and corrections. Topics under northern law and justice include customary law, self-government, community-based justice, and victimization. Child welfare, substance abuse, and suicide are covered in the health and welfare section.
