Asynchronous Task 2

Indigenous Peoples, Criminology, and Criminal Justice

Abstract

This review provides a critical overview of Indigenous peoples’ interactions with criminal justice
systems. It focuses on the experiences of Indigenous peoples residing in the four major Anglo-settler-
colonial jurisdictions of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. The review is built
around a number of key arguments, including that centuries of colonization have left Indigenous peoples
across all four jurisdictions in a position of profound social, economic, and political marginalization; that
the colonial project, especially the socioeconomic marginalization resulting from it, plays a significant
role in the contemporary over-representation of Indigenous peoples in settler-colonial criminal justice
systems; and that a key failure of both governments and the academy has been to disregard Indigenous
peoples responses to social harm and to rely too heavily on Western theorizing, policy, and practice to
solve the problem of Indigenous over-representation. Finally, we argue that little will change to reduce
the negative nature of Indigenous–criminal justice interactions until the settler-colonial state and the
discipline of criminology show a willingness to support Indigenous peoples’ desire for self-determination
and for leadership in the response to the social harms that impact their communities.

Newsmaking criminology in Australia and New Zealand: Results from a mixed methods study of
criminologists’ media engagement

Abstract

‘Newsmaking criminology’, as described by Barak, is the process by which criminologists contribute to

the generation of ‘newsworthy’ media content about crime and justice, often through their engagement
with broadcast and other news media. While newsmaking criminological practices have been the subject
of detailed practitioner testimonials and theoretical treatise, there has been scarce empirical research
on newsmaking criminology, particularly in relation to countries outside of the United States and United
Kingdom. To illuminate the state of play of newsmaking criminology in Australia and New Zealand, in
this paper we analyse findings from 116 survey responses and nine interviews with criminologists
working in universities in these two countries, which provide insight into the extent and nature of their
news media engagement, and their related perceptions. Our findings indicate that most criminologists
working in Australia or New Zealand have made at least one news media appearance in the past two
years, and the majority of respondents view news media engagement as a professional ‘duty’.
Participants also identified key political, ethical, and logistical issues relevant to their news media
engagement, with several expressing a view that radio and television interviewers can influence
criminologists to say things that they deem ‘newsworthy’.

Research Method:

● This study is a Mixed method, Sequential Explanatory research.

Research Design:

● This study is a Correlational research design.

Research Sampling Techniques:

● This study utilized a Probability Sampling, List-Based Sampling and Purposive sampling
technique.

Data Analysis:

● This study utilized a Descriptive Statistics.

Community Participation in Crime Prevention in Barangay 178 Camarin Caloocan City

Abstract

Community participation is one of the most important assets to prevent crime. Nowadays, there are
many crimes happening in our country. That is why the Philippine National Police (PNP) needs the
participation of the community in ensuring orderliness and peace amongst its constituents. The
community serves as the “eye” and “ears” of the Philippine National Police (PNP) because the
community is aware of what is happening in their area more than the police. A synergetic partnership
between the community and the Philippine National Police (PNP) is essential to reduce crime and
improve the quality of life. Community participation is truly important to encourage them to coordinate
with local police programs for community safety. Also, the PNP needs the coordination of barangay
officials in the implementation of law and order in specific jurisdictions. The results in this research will
serve as guides and bases in providing solutions to the aforementioned problem. The researchers used
the descriptive method in gathering data from the respondents. The Data gathering process in this study
was conducted through the use of questionnaires and unstructured interviews. Data obtained from
these questionnaires were carefully analyzed and interpreted with the help of descriptive statistics such
as weighted mean, percentage, rank, and Likert scale. The findings of this study showed that the
problems encountered by the respondents on the prevention of crime in Brgy. 178 Camarin, Caloocan
City are not following the rules and regulation of the government. Based on the responses of the
respondents, it was identified that there are a number of constituents who are not communicating with
police and government about critical issues in the community. This concludes that a number of
respondents may not have enough knowledge about crime prevention directives or awareness of the
ways they can coordinate with the police on criminal encounters. The researchers identified that citizens
should report immediately suspicious activity to the police officers. They should also cooperate with the
programs implemented by the police and government and they should have the will to perform their
duty to help the police fight crime. Solutions and results for crime prevention are the main goals of this
research. The crimes in the community will be lessened or prevented if this research becomes applied.
