Inspired by Professor Jianhong Liu’s article entitled “Asian Criminology—Challenges, Opportunities, and Directions,” published in 2009 in the Asian Journal of Criminology, I attempt to document the expansion of Asian criminology in terms of the numbers of journal articles published, but also to encapsulate some of the unique contributions of original articles published in the Asian Journal of Criminology. To document the expansion of Asian criminology in terms of journal articles, I used the academic search engine, the ISI Web of Science, to identify criminology articles across a variety of Asian countries and time. This led to distinguishing between more traditional criminology and crime control (TCCC) articles and articles focusing on violence against women/children and on trafficking (VAWCT). Second, because it is not yet part of the ISI Web of Science, I read all of the original articles in the Asian Journal of Criminology to account for how Asian criminology is advancing the larger discipline of criminology. The ISI Web of Science data document the rapid expansion of Asian criminology. Some of the specific Asian Journal of Criminology articles are used to exemplify specific examples of how Asian criminology is advancing the field of criminology worldwide through theoretical, methodological and framing designs, and crime control practices.

亚洲犯罪学研究和犯罪控制实践的扩展和进步

受到刘建红教授 2009 年发表在《亚洲犯罪学杂志》上的题为“亚洲犯罪学——挑战、机遇和方向”的文章的启发，我试图用发表的期刊文章数量来记录亚洲犯罪学的扩张，但也总结发表在亚洲犯罪学杂志上的原创文章的一些独特贡献。为了记录亚洲犯罪学在期刊文章方面的扩展，我使用学术搜索引擎 ISI Web of Science 来识别亚洲各个国家和时间的犯罪学文章。这导致区分更传统的犯罪学和犯罪控制 (TCCC) 文章与关注暴力侵害妇女/儿童和贩运 (VAWCT) 的文章。第二，因为它还不是 ISI Web of Science 的一部分，我阅读了亚洲犯罪学杂志上的所有原始文章，以说明亚洲犯罪学如何推动更大的犯罪学学科。ISI Web of Science 数据记录了亚洲犯罪学的迅速扩张。一些特定的亚洲犯罪学杂志文章被用来举例说明亚洲犯罪学如何通过理论、方法和框架设计以及犯罪控制实践推动全球犯罪学领域的具体例子。
