The field of criminology and criminal justice encompass broad and complex multidisciplinary topics. Most of the research that falls under these areas uses either quantitative or qualitative methodologies, with historically limited use of mixed methods designs. Research utilizing mixed methods has increased within the social sciences in recent years, including a steadily growing body of mixed method research in criminal justice and criminology. The goal of this study was to examine how mixed method designs are being employed within research related to criminal justice and criminology. Our systematic review located 327 mixed method articles published between 2001 and 2017. Findings indicated most criminology and criminal justice research is being conducted within the specialty area of victimology. This study provides an overview of mixed methods research in criminology and criminal justice and also illustrates that most publications are not including methodological concepts specific to mixed methods research (e.g., integration). Along with our systematic review, we offer a series of recommendations to move mixed methods research forward in criminology and criminal justice.

犯罪学和刑事司法领域涵盖广泛而复杂的多学科主题。属于这些领域的大多数研究都使用定量或定性方法，而历史上有限地使用混合方法设计。近年来，在社会科学领域，使用混合方法的研究有所增加，其中包括在刑事司法和犯罪学领域中混合方法研究的稳步增长。这项研究的目的是研究在与刑事司法和犯罪学有关的研究中如何采用混合方法设计。我们的系统评价找到了2001年至2017年之间发表的327种混合方法文章。研究结果表明，大多数犯罪学和刑事司法研究都在受害者学的专业领域内进行。这项研究概述了犯罪学和刑事司法中的混合方法研究，并且还说明了大多数出版物并未包括混合方法研究（例如，整合）所特有的方法论概念。除了进行系统的审查外，我们还提出了一系列建议，以推动混合方法研究在犯罪学和刑事司法领域的发展。
