Abstract:     
Public safety and criminal justice on Indian reservations are better served when Indian tribes play a central role in these functions. Most of the successes of law enforcement in Indian country have involved careful cooperation and coordination between law enforcement agencies of different sovereigns. Even informal cooperation can be highly effective in improving public safety. Lack of cooperation undermines public safety.

Keywords: crime, criminal justice, law enforcement, public safety, American Indians, Indian tribes, Native Americans
