On my bookshelf:
I read Susanne Reber’s and Robert Renaud’s updated Starlight Tour: The Last Lonely Night of Neil Stonechild last month. It was an intriguing read because it provided insight into how an external policing agency may conduct investigations against other policing agencies and how police should (and should not) conduct investigations in Indigenous communities. I recommend it as reading for other recently called lawyers including those outside of criminal law.
