The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Criminology Thirty Years On

Abstract

This paper, in celebration of the Australian and New Zealand Journal's thirty years of existence provides a reflective, self-critical analysis of its contents over this period and, for comparative purposes, the content of the British Journal of Criminology. While the findings of such an exercise must be treated with caution, they provide interesting glimpses of the way in which the discipline of criminology has been shaped and developed in the journal.

Preaching to the Choir: A Comparison of the Use of Integrated Data Sets in Criminology Journals in Australia, England and the United States

“…Farrington and Cohn's classification of quantitativeness of data was used to categorise articles following our content analyses. The second, by Pratt and Priestley (1999), summarises the evolution of articles published in ANZJC between 1968 and 1997. Pratt and Priestly note a preponderance of Australian authors, particularly from NSW and Victoria, though with increases from Queensland and Western Australia and ACT, and marked increases in women authors.…”
