Causes and Consequences of Indigenous Victimization: A Series of Studies by Incarcerated Researchers

Wed, Nov 12, 9:30 to 10:50am, Marquis Salon 12 - M2

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

This panel consists of a series of empirical studies created and carried out by incarcerated residents in a men’s prison in the Western United States. Each study examines the causes and consequences of Indigenous victimization, including the role of geopolitical factors, victim-offender relationships, tribal affiliation, and sentencing disparities. Results indicate that the causes and consequences of Indigenous victimization are significant and unique, suggesting that criminologists should attend closely to the specific characteristics of Indigenous victimization when conducting research. Although the content of the panel is focused on victimization, the unique authorship of the panel will be emphasized and the panel will close with a discussion of the intricacies of working with incarcerated researchers.
