The most‐cited scholars in criminology and criminal justice textbooks, 1989 to 1993

Abstract

Recent citation analysis studies of criminology and criminal justice journals have shifted from identifying the most‐cited scholars in criminology or criminal justice to combining data sets to report the most‐cited scholars in criminology and criminal justice periodicals. So far, however, a companion group of citation analyses of criminology and criminal justice textbooks have not combined data sets, instead listing the most‐cited scholars in either criminology textbooks or criminal justice textbooks. Here the data sets from two citation analyses of textbooks are combined and reanalyzed to identify the 16 most‐cited scholars in 39 criminology and criminal justice textbooks published from 1989 to 1993. The 16 most‐cited scholars in the textbooks are an elite group which has made important contributions to the study of the etiology of crime and to applied research on the institutions of justice.
