美国印第安民族刑事司法“自决”的现状与困境

Current Situation and Plight of Self-determination of American Indian Criminal Justice

"托管"和印第安部落的"自决"、"自治"是美国联邦印第安政策的两个主要方面。美国联邦印第安政策的矛盾性反映在刑事司法领域,主要表现为联邦一方面支持部落刑事司法的发展;另一方面,又对部落刑事管辖权的扩张持谨慎、限制态度,这些都是联邦法和部落法之间在刑事司法领域存在悖论的例证。

＂Hosting＂ and ＂self-determination＂,＂autonomy＂are the two main aspects of the Federal Indian policy.Contradiction of the Federal Indian policy reflected in the area of criminal justice mainly is that one hand, the federal government supports the development of the tribal criminal justice, on the other hand, the federal government poses a cautious and limited attitude towards the expansion of tribal criminal jurisdiction,which are the illustration that there exists a paradox between federal laws and tribal laws in the area of criminal justice.
