Abstract
This report examines the declining influence of criminology textbooks on scholarship in criminology/ criminal justice by comparing the citations of forty-five older textbooks (published from 1918 to 1965) and forty-nine newer textbooks (published from 1976 to 1985) in the articles and research notes appearing in the seven leading criminology/criminal justice and sociology journals published from 1966 to 1972 and 1986 to 1992. The findings show that the older textbooks were cited far more often in the leading journals than were the newer textbooks. Some reasons for these changes are offered.
