The institutional affiliations of authors in leading criminology and criminal justice journals

The current analysis builds on the works of Fabianic [J. Crim. Justice 9 (1981) 247.] and Sorensen [J. Crim. Justice 22 (1994) 535.], examining the institutional affiliations of authors in the top eight criminology and criminal justice journals during the years 1995 through 1999. University of Cincinnati ranked first and University of Maryland second on this measure of productivity. Institutions housing doctoral programs in criminal justice dominated the top rankings, suggesting that criminal justice may finally be maturing as a discipline. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
