“…Given the lists of the most-cited scholars in six major American CCJ journals from the previous research (Cohn and Farrington 1994, 1998a, 2007aCohn 2011), this article replicates the citation analysis to assess the most-cited women and non-white scholars in three major American criminology journals (Criminology -CRIM, Journal of Quantitative Criminology -JQC, Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency -JRCD) and three major American criminal justice journals (Justice Quarterly -JQ, Journal of Criminal Justice -JCJ, Criminal Justice and Behavior -CJB) from 1986-2005. One major benefits of citation analysis is that raw data are readily accessible to anyone who wishes to attempt to repeat the previous analyses (Cohn and Farrington 1994, 1998a, 2007aCohn 2011).…”

“…The most-cited scholars remain one method for measuring influence in criminology and criminal justice (Cohn and Farrington 1998a). In the past 30 years, citation analysis has become broadly used in CCJ as a way of measuring influence and prestige (Cohn 2011;Cohn and Farrington 1994, 1998a, 2007Wright, Bryant, and Miller 2001;Wright and Friedrichs 1998;Miller 1998, 1999;Wright and Sheridan 1997).…”

“…The use of citation analysis provides us with a quantitative method for determining scholarly influence in CCJ. The rationale for using citation analysis is that a good work is a work that other scholars find useful and consequently cite in their own works (Christenson and Sigelman 1985;Cohn, 2011). As a consequence, if a scholarly work is highly cited, it implies that the scholar's colleagues find the work significant and valuable.…”

“…Research shows that citation counts are highly correlated with other measures of scholarly influence, including ratings by colleagues (Cohn 2011;Myers 1970), the receipt of scholarly awards and prizes (Cole and Cole 1971), election to major offices in professional associations (Rushton and Endler 1979), and the publication rates of scholars (Cohn 2011;Cohn and Farrington 2007a;Gordon and Vicari 1992;Miller et al 2000). However, unlike most of the measures of scholarly influence, citation analysis affords an objective, quantitative index, which is much less influenced by personal bias or special interest (Cohn 2011;Cohn and Farrington 2007). In general, it was concluded that large numbers of citations provided an imperfect but, nonetheless, reasonably valid measure of scholarly influence (Cohn and Farrington 1998a).…”

This article presents findings from an ongoing study of the integration of women and non-white scholarship into the discipline of criminology and criminal justice. The most-cited women and non-white scholars in six major American journals were determined for 1986-2005 to investigate (1) if the dissemination of published research findings in criminology and criminal justice (CCJ) is affected by gender and race/ethnicity and (2) if changes in scholarly influence of women and non-white scholars in CCJ over 20 years exists. A number of explanations are suggested to account for gender and racial differentials in citation rates.

“…Other researchers have also documented the "stars" in criminology. For instance, Cohn and Farrington (2007; analyzed scholarly influence in criminal justice and criminology journals from 1986-1990 and 1990-2000 respectively. Likewise, Orrick and Weir (2011) assessed sole and lead authorship in a category of elite journals.…”

This study investigates how criminological writing style is "a [more] complicated terrain" than we realize in criminology (Butler, 1990, p. xix). Data is drawn from interviews with forty of the one hundred most influential criminological writers (Walters, 2015) to explore perceptions of good writing in the field, namely in describing writing practices, norms and values. Thus, the findings of this study come in three chapters. The first two result chapters explore the terrain of writing in criminology by presenting perceptions of best practices and values of good writing. The third results chapter then examines these perceptions within a lens of writing studies and literary theory, which juxtaposes universal and socio-cultural perspectives of writing. By framing perceptions of best practices and values for good writing within a writing studies and literary theory framework, this study demonstrates that the way criminology perceives and discusses writing is different from the way writing works in criminology in reality. Last, this study provides conceptual implications that demonstrate how thinking about writing incorrectly forecloses potentially fruitful writing perspectives and practical implications that suggests how writing studies can benefit the future of the criminological enterprise. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER
