Abstract

This paper applies a new theoretical framework called 'The Silences framework', (Serrant-Green, 2011) within a criminological context. 'Screaming silences' is the conceptual basis of the framework and is designed to assist in researching sensitive issues with marginalised populations. Applied to criminology it here how 'silences' shape, influence and inform understandings of race, crime and criminal behaviour. This paper argues that racialised 'silences' of researcher and participant provide a 'counter narrative' required to hear silences and act on them.
