"American Indians and Crime: A BJS Statistical Profile, 1992-2002" is available from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/abstract/aic02.htm.

This 56 page document summarizes data on American Indians in the criminal justice system and reports the rates and characteristics of violent crimes experienced by American Indians. This report updates a previous BJS report, American Indians and Crime, published in 1999. The findings include the involvement of alcohol, drugs, and weapons in violence against Indians.
