We have 3 books for this author.

For the American physician and scholar see John Martin Crawford (scholar).

John Martin Crawford was sentenced in 1981 to 10 years imprisonment for manslaughter in the killing of Mary Jane Serloin, in Lethbridge, Alberta (Goulding, 2001).

While under police surveillance, Crawford assaulted Theresa Kematch,[citation needed] who was herself arrested, while Crawford was not (Goulding 2001).

Crawford was convicted in 1996 of killing three native women in Saskatoon in 1992.[citation needed]

Crawford is currently serving three concurrent life sentences in Saskatchewan Penitentiary.[citation needed]Terry Hinz prosecuted Crawford's trial.[citation needed]

Crawford is discussed in Warren Goulding's book, Just Another Indian, A Serial Killer and Canada's Indifference with the message that crimes by marginalized minorities go unheeded by an uncaring society at large. The theory is posited that Crawford's case was played down by the media because his victims were Aboriginal women (Goulding, 2001).
