Abstract To investigate changes in scholarly influence in criminology and criminal justice over a 30-year time period, the most-cited scholars in six major American journals were determined for 2011–2015, with results compared to those obtained for 2006–2010, 2001–2005, 1996–2000, 1991–1995, and 1986–1990. The most-cited scholars in 2011–2015 were Robert J. Sampson in American criminology journals and Alex R. Piquero in American criminal justice journals. The most-cited scholars in criminology journals focused on longitudinal/criminal career research and/or criminological theories. The most-cited scholars in criminal justice journals focused on these topics or on criminal justice issues such as rehabilitation and sentencing. Some highly-cited authors were specialized; others were versatile. During this 30-year period, older and deceased scholars became cited less often, while younger scholars became more highly cited. An intergenerational transmission of influence from older to younger scholars occurred through mentoring. This research documents the waxing and waning of careers of criminological influence.

1986-2015年美国主要犯罪学和刑事司法期刊学术影响的变化

摘要 为了调查过去 30 年间犯罪学和刑事司法学术影响的变化，确定了 2011-2015 年美国六种主要期刊中被引用最多的学者，并将结果与​​ 2006-2010、2001- 2005、1996-2000、1991-1995 和 1986-1990。2011-2015 年被引用次数最多的学者是美国犯罪学期刊的 Robert J. Sampson 和美国刑事司法期刊的 Alex R. Piquero。犯罪学期刊中被引用次数最多的学者专注于纵向/犯罪职业研究和/或犯罪学理论。刑事司法期刊中被引用次数最多的学者关注这些主题或刑事司法问题，例如康复和量刑。一些被高度引用的作者是专业的；其他人是多才多艺的。在这 30 年的时间里，年长和已故的学者被引用的频率降低，而年轻的学者被引用的频率更高。从年长学者到年轻学者的影响代际传递是通过指导发生的。这项研究记录了犯罪学影响职业的兴衰。
