Using a critical race theory (CRT) framework, this paper analyses Black and Black mixed- race people’s experiences of reporting crime. It is based on qualitative interviews with 20 participants. The analysis finds that the process of becoming the (un)victim is mediated through the intersection of race with gender and masculinity, class and migrant status. Ultimately, Black and Black mixed-race men are the ‘ideal offender’ rather than the ‘ideal victim’ (Christie, 1986). The research finds that the (un)victim experiences racial re-victimization and develops an altered perception of the police as a trusted body. The racialized affect of being the (un)victim is greater than the effects of minor crime on the victim. The challenges that this poses to the relationship between Black communities and the police are explored and the implications for future practice discussed.

本文使用临界种族理论（CRT）框架，分析了黑人和黑人混合种族人的犯罪举报经验。它基于对20位参与者的定性访谈。分析发现，成为（非）受害者的过程是通过种族与性别和男性气质，阶级和移民身份的交汇而实现的。归根结底，黑人和黑人混血男人是“理想的罪犯”，而不是“理想的受害者”（Christie，1986）。研究发现，（非）受害者遭受了种族重新受害者，并改变了人们对警察作为可信赖机构的看法。作为（非）受害者的种族影响大于对受害者的轻微犯罪影响。
