Grounded in dialogue, moving through openings between systematicity and serendipity, ethnography is inherently reflexive. Yet for reflexivity to matter, to influence the understanding of human being and action in cross-cultural context, the ethnographer must explicitly analyse and articulate the way that particular people socially interacting in specific settings co-produce both objective and subjective knowledge about the world, and also, how such knowledge (re)shapes culture. Story-telling — presenting criminology as the story of encounter — is a classic method of conveying ethnographic anal- ysis and pulling in theoretical interventions that deepen and expand the meanings entailed in a fieldwork project. An armed robbery on a Brazilian beach, witnessed by the ethnographer and a woman who, by virtue of this shared, albeit indirect, trauma, became her trusted interlocutor, is the point of departure for this discussion of how trust emerges — unplanned yet mobilised in the flow of field experience.1
