Persona Non Grata: The Marginalization of Legal Scholarship in Criminology and Criminal Justice Journals

Abstract: Recently, concern has been voiced within the academy regarding the marginalization of legal scholarship within the criminology and criminal justice (CCJ) discipline. Although conventional wisdom and anecdotal evidence indicate that it is difficult to get legal scholarship published in CCJ journals, there is a dearth of empirical evidence on the representation of legal scholarship in CCJ journals. The present study assesses the representation of legal scholarship in 20 CCJ journals from 2005 through 2015, exami… Show more

“…Building on earlier work by Rowe et al (2016), which examined the representation of legal articles and courts and sentencing articles in CCJ journals, the present study uses a sample Violence and Juvenile Justice (YVJJ). Rowe et al (2016) selected these journals based on: (1) the first 13 journals listed being ranked in the top 10 by Sorensen, Snell, and Rodriguez's (2006) prestige ranking study, in which CCJ journals were ranked based on perceived prestige by members of the American Society of Criminology (ASC) and the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (ACJS), and Sorensen's (2009) impact ranking study, in which CCJ journals were ranked based on citation analysis; and (2) the following 7 journals being either affiliated with ASC or ACJS or being prominent journals focusing on important criminal justice topics, such as corrections and juvenile justice.…”

“…Despite the importance of law in delineating what conduct constitutes crime (Hemmens, 2015a(Hemmens, , 2016Nolasco, del Carmen, Steinmetz, Vaughn, & Spaic, 2015) and in setting limits on the criminal justice system's response to crime (Hemmens, 2015a(Hemmens, , 2015b, law has been marginalized within the criminology and criminal justice (CCJ) discipline both with regard to the place of law-related courses in CCJ education (Hemmens, 2015a(Hemmens, , 2015b(Hemmens, , 2016Nolasco et al, 2015) and the representation of legal scholarship in CCJ journals (Hemmens, 2016;Rowe, McCann, & Hemmens, 2016). Recently, a growing number of CCJ scholars have made a persuasive argument that it is time to remedy the marginalization of legal scholarship within the CCJ discipline (Hemmens, 2015a(Hemmens, , 2015b(Hemmens, , 2016Nolasco et al, 2015;Nolasco, Vaughn, & del Carmen, 2010;Rowe et al, 2016). In light of this important discussion regarding the place of legal scholarship within the CCJ discipline, now is an opportune time to garner empirical evidence concerning the authorship of legal scholarship within the CCJ discipline, shedding light on the extent of collaboration among CCJ legal scholars and identifying CCJ legal scholars who have remained largely invisible to date due to their focus on a subfield which has been marginalized within the CCJ discipline.…”
