Abstract
This book has identified the most-cited scholars in major criminology and criminal justice (CCJ) journals over a 35-year period, as well as the most-cited works of the most-cited scholars. Our analyses have tracked the most-cited scholars in four international CCJ journals, six American journals, and 20 American and international journals. These analyses show how scholarly influence changes over time, as one generation ages and gives way to the next generation of scholars. They also reveal major trends over time, including the massively increasing number of cited scholars and the increasing numbers of citations to articles rather than books.
