Abstract
One important dimension of the quality of a graduate program is the quality of its faculty. Previous assessments of the publication productivity of criminology and criminal justice (CCJ) faculties have been needlessly incomplete and narrow, reflecting publications only in a small number of CCJ journals. Assessments covering only CCJ journals fail to reflect the multi‐disciplinary nature of CCJ and bias results against programs whose most productive scholars publish in non‐CCJ journals. The present research covers the full array of major journals in which CCJ‐related research appears, by searching for articles using the multi‐disciplinary Web of Science database, as well as the Criminal Justice Periodical Index database. This article is an update of an earlier assessment that covered refereed articles published in 2000 through early 2005. The present study covers those published in 2005–2009, inclusive. Based on article counts, the most productive faculties of a CCJ doctoral program are those of Florida State University and the University of Cincinnati. The article also summarizes the changes in rankings of CCJ programs in studies covering periods from 1970 through 2009.
