We consider coactions of a locally compact group G on a C*-algebra A, and the associated crossed product C*-algebra A× G. Given a normal subgroup N of G, we seek to decompose A× G as an iterated crossed product (A× G/ N) × N, and introduce notions of twisted coaction and twisted crossed product which make this possible. We then prove a duality theorem for these twisted crossed products, and discuss how our results might be used, especially when N is abelian.
