This article presents a review of organised crime authorship for all articles published in Trends in Organized Crime and Global Crime between 2004 and 2019 (N = 528 articles and 627 individual authors). The results of this review identify a field dominated by White men based in six countries, all in the Global North. Little collaboration occurs; few studies are funded, and few researchers specialise in the area. Organised crime research, however, does have a degree of variety in national origin, and therefore linguistic diversity, while the number of female researchers is growing. The article concludes that authorship trends are influenced by the challenges of data collection, funding availability, and more entrenched structural factors, which prevent some from entering into, and staying active within, the field.

本文回顾了 2004 年至 2019 年间在有组织犯罪趋势和全球犯罪趋势中发表的所有文章的有组织犯罪作者身份（N = 528 篇文章和 627 位个人作者）。这项审查的结果确定了一个由六个国家的白人男性主导的领域，这些国家都在全球北方。很少发生合作；很少有研究得到资助，也很少有研究人员专门研究该领域。然而，有组织犯罪研究确实存在一定程度的国籍差异，因此也存在语言多样性，而女性研究人员的数量正在增长。文章的结论是，作者趋势受到数据收集挑战、资金可用性和更根深蒂固的结构因素的影响，这些因素阻止了一些人进入该领域并在该领域保持活跃。
