Kennedy's Criminal Code Reform Bill and What It Doesn't Do for the Tribes.

Barsh, Russel Lawrence

American Indian Journal, v6 n3 p2-15 Mar 1980

While the criminal reform bill, S.1722m, has great potential for straightening out the jurisdictional morass on Indian reservations, it is evading the more controversial issues. After describing past difficulties in determining criminal jurisdiction on tribal lands, this article discusses needed reforms and what is missing in the new law. (Author/DS)
