Abstract
The position of disabled people within criminal justice frameworks and scholarship is
one of ambivalence, which leaves disabled people in the simultaneous and contradictory
position of centrality and marginality. While disabled people are over-represented within
the criminal justice system (as offenders, victims, and witnesses), their voices are often
marginalized or silenced. So too, while disabled people are over-represented within the
criminal justice system, they remain under-explored in policy, practice, research, and
scholarship. Aligning with the shift to queer and queering criminology, in this article we
deploy the lens of ‘crip’ and ‘cripping’ to facilitate a more critical engagement with the
concerns of disabled people, along with the mechanisms by which abledness informs
criminal justice encounters.
