      abstract = {This brief examines the influence and prestige of scholars  and works in the field of Criminology and Criminal Justice,  as well as changes in influence and prestige over a period  of 25 years, based on citation analysis. Methods of  measuring scholarly influence can be highly controversial,  but the authors of this work clearly outline their  methodology, developed over years of experience working  with this area of study. Through their expertise in  Criminology and Criminal Justice, they are able to solve  problems that affect or confound many traditional forms of  citation analysis, such as irregularly cited references or  self-citations. It includes 25 years of data (1986 through  2010) on the most-cited scholars and works in major  American and international Criminology and Criminal Justice  journals, and provides an objective measure of influence  and prestige. Through an analysis of the data, the authors  also document the intellectual development of criminology  and criminal justice as a field of study since 1986. They  highlight the development of research trends and indicate  areas for future research.},
