This study was designed to gain a better\r\nunderstanding of law enforcement under Public Law 280. Specifically, amid federal concerns about rising crime rates in Indian country and rising\r\nvictimization rates among Indians, the National Institute of Justice funded this study to\r\nadvance understanding of this law and its impact, from the point of view of tribal\r\nmembers as well as state and local officials. The research team gathered data from 17 confidential reservation\r\nsites, which were selected to\r\nensure a range of features such as region and whether the communities were in Public\r\nLaw 280 jurisdictions under mandatory, optional, excluded, straggler, or retroceded\r\nstatus. Confidential\r\ninterviews were conducted with a total of 354 reservation residents, law enforcement officials,\r\nand criminal justice personnel.\r\nTo assess the quality or effectiveness of law enforcement and criminal justice systems\r\nunder Public Law 280, the research team collected quantitative data pertaining to the responsiveness, availability, quality, and sensitivity of law enforcement, and personal knowledge of Public Law 280.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR34557.v1", "title": "Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Under Public Law 280, 2003-2005 [United States]"}], "identifier": "2909", "issued": "2013-03-27T15:54:34", "keyword": ["Native Americans", "crime", "crime rates", "crime reporting", "criminal justice policy", "cultural attitudes", "law enforcement", "legislative impact"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2013-03-27T16:00:16", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "rights": "These data are restricted due to the increased risk of violation of confidentiality of respondent and subject data.", "title": "Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Under Public Law 280, 2003-2005 [United States]"}
