Replication is a hallmark of science. In recent years, some medical sciences and behavioral sciences struggled with what came to be known as replication crises. As a field, criminology has yet to address formally the threats to our evidence base that might be posed by large-scale and systematic replication attempts, although it is likely we would face challenges similar to those experienced by other disciplines. In this review, we outline the basics of replication, summarize reproducibility problems found in other fields, undertake an original analysis of the amount and nature of replication studies appearing in criminology journals, and consider how criminology can begin to assess more formally the robustness of our knowledge through encouraging a culture of replication.

犯罪学和社会科学中的复制

复制是科学的标志。近年来，一些医学科学和行为科学在被称为复制危机的斗争中挣扎。作为一个领域，犯罪学尚未正式解决大规模和系统复制尝试可能对我们的证据基础构成的威胁，尽管我们可能会面临与其他学科所经历的挑战类似的挑战。在本文中，我们概述了复制的基础知识，总结了在其他领域发现的可复制性问题，对犯罪学期刊上出现的复制研究的数量和性质进行了原创性分析，并考虑了犯罪学如何开始更正式地评估我们的鲁棒性。通过鼓励复制文化获得知识。
