Indigenous Peoples and Criminal Justice

Over the past three decades, Dr. Griffiths has conducted research on a wide variety of issues related to Indigenous peoples and the criminal justice system.  This has included working with First Nations communities to document patterns of crime and victimization and the development of community-based alternatives to the justice process.  He has contributed to numerous task forces and commissions of inquiry.  Most recently, Dr. Griffiths was asked to provide materials for the report, Sharing Common Ground.  Review of Yukon’s Police Force (2011).
