Solutions
Participants were asked to give their perspective about what might work to address the issue of overrepresentation of American Indians in criminal justice systems. Responses varied and often suggest multi-level changes within communities and corrections systems. Several strong patterns emerge from the suggestions such as re-establishing culture and traditions within American Indian communities, providing adequate training opportunities for criminal justice social workers, attorneys, and probation officers, and involving communities in policy development. In addition they encouraged political activity to change the environment and social context in which they live.
