The main aim of this article is to assess the most-cited scholars in 20 criminology and criminal justice journals in 2015 and to compare them with the most-cited scholars in these journals in 1990–2010 and with the most-cited scholars in the Asian Journal of Criminology (AJC) in 2015. Five American criminology journals, five American criminal justice journals, five international criminology journals, and five international criminal justice journals have been studied since 1990. The most-cited scholars tended to be those who carried out research on developmental and life-course criminology. Most of these highly cited scholars were also highly cited in previous years, showing the persistence of scholarly influence. Generally, the most-cited scholars in criminology and criminal justice journals overlapped considerably, as did the most-cited scholars in American and international journals. Also, the most-cited scholars in AJC in 2015 overlapped considerably with the most-cited scholars in these other categories of journals. We conclude that there is considerable agreement in American, Asian, and international criminology and criminal justice on the most-cited, and therefore most influential, scholars.

本文的主要目的是评估 2015 年 20 种犯罪学和刑事司法期刊中被引用次数最多的学者，并将其与 1990-2010 年这些期刊中被引用次数最多的学者以及亚洲地区被引用次数最多的学者进行比较。犯罪学杂志(AJC) 于 2015 年。自 1990 年以来研究了 5 种美国犯罪学期刊、5 种美国刑事司法期刊、5 种国际犯罪学期刊和 5 种国际刑事司法期刊。生命历程犯罪学。这些高被引学者大多在前几年也被高被引，可见学术影响力的持久性。一般来说，犯罪学和刑事司法期刊中被引用最多的学者有相当大的重叠，美国和国际期刊中被引用最多的学者也是如此。此外，2015 年 AJC 中被引用次数最多的学者与这些其他类别期刊中被引用次数最多的学者有相当大的重叠。我们得出的结论是，在美国、亚洲、
