Inuit and the administration of criminal justice in the Northwest Territories : the case of Frobisher Bay / by Harold W. Finkler.: R52-11/1976E-PDF

"The study describes the traditional system of social control within Inuit society and traces the development of socio-legal structures in the Northwest Territories to determine their growth and the varying influence of their teaching role in enlightening Inuit about the law and the criminal justice system. The historical account serves as a frame of reference to examine the difficulties encountered by Inuit in their transition to Canadian law ways and formalized agencies of socio-legal control"--Abstract, p. 2.
