In this article we use Emirbayer and Desmond’s institutional reflexivity framework to critically examine the production of racial knowledge in British criminology. Identifying weakness, neglect and marginalization in theorizing race and racism, we focus principally on the disciplinary unconscious element of their three-tier framework, identifying and interrogating aspects of criminology’s ‘obligatory problematics’, ‘habits of thought’ and ‘position-taking’ as well as its institutional structure and social relations that combine to render the discipline ‘institutionally white’. We also consider, briefly, aspects of criminology’s relationship to race, racism and whiteness in the USA. The final part of the article makes the case for British criminology to engage in telling and narrating racisms, urging it to understand the complexities of race in our subject matter, avoid its reduction to class and inequality, and to pay particular attention to reflexivity, history, sociology and language, turning to face race with postcolonial tools and resolve.

亲爱的英国犯罪学：所有种族和种族主义都去哪儿了？

在本文中，我们使用 Emirbayer 和 Desmond 的制度反思框架来批判性地考察英国犯罪学中种族知识的产生。识别种族和种族主义理论化中的弱点、忽视和边缘化，我们主要关注其三层框架的学科无意识元素，识别和询问犯罪学的“强制性问题”、“思维习惯”和“立场选择”的各个方面以及它的制度结构和社会关系，结合起来使该学科“制度上是白色的”。我们还简要地考虑了犯罪学与美国种族、种族主义和白人关系的各个方面。文章的最后一部分说明了英国犯罪学参与讲述和叙述种族主义的理由，
