A Multi-Faceted Analysis of the African American Presence in Juvenile Delinquency Textbooks Published Between 1997 and 2000

Marginalization and Invisibility of Women of Color

“…Collins & Hebert, 2008;Curry, 2001;Hogben & Waterman, 1997). The current study found that images of women and people of color support a narrow or stereotypical view of these groups, which is similar to prior research (Allen & Wallace, 2010;Baro & Eigenberg, 1993;Clawson & Kegler, 2000;Curry, 2001;Dorworth & Henry, 1992;Eigenberg & Baro, 1994;Ferree & Hall, 1990;Greene, Gabbidon, & Ebersole, 2001;Low & Sherrard, 1999). And, the overwhelming absence of images of women of color is consistent with studies that have looked at this issue specifically (Brown et al, 1985;Curry, 2001;Eigenberg & Baro, 1994;Ferree & Hall, 1990;Hogben & Waterman, 1997).…”

Who’s Getting Cited: Representation of Women and Non-White Scholars in Major American Criminology and Criminal Justice Journals Between 1986-2005

“…Although few studies focusing on the presence of women and non-whites in leading journals subsist, those studies analyzed articles published before 2000 (Eigenberg and Baro 1992;Miller et al 2000;Taylor Greene and Gabbidon 2003), Additionally, prior studies remain limited by focusing only on theoretical research appearing in criminology and criminal justice journal articles and the contribution of African American scholars rather than additional non-white scholars (Free 1999;Gabbidon and Taylor Greene 2001;Taylor Greene and Gabbidon 2003;Taylor Greene, Gabbidon, and Ebersole 2001;Young and Taylor Greene 1995;Young and Sulton 1991). Moreover, there has been no direct comparison between women and men or between white and non-whites in terms of their presence in the leading criminology and criminal justice journals.…”

“…While the number of articles published by racial non-whites in mainstream criminology and criminal justice journals increased, recent research shows they *Address correspondence to this author at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Department of Criminology, Indiana, Pennsylvania 15705, USA; Tel: 724-357-5931; Fax: 724-357-4018; E-mail: bitna.kim@iup.edu remain limited (Gabbidon et al 2004;Del Carmen and Bing 2000;Ross and Edwards 1998;Tatum 2002;Young and Sulton 1996). Specifically, several studies of African American contributions in leading journals and textbooks exist (Free 1999;Gabbidon and Taylor Greene 2001;Taylor Greene, Gabbidon, and Ebersole 2001;Taylor Greene and Gabbidon 2003). While during the 1980s a number of African American scholars gained increased attention, including Lee P. Brown, Julius Debro, Daniel Georges-Abeyie, Coramae Mann, Darnell Hawkins, and Vernetta Young (Gabbidon and Tylor Greene 2001), several overviews of African American scholars' contributions suggest that most other African American criminologists and their contributions remain on the periphery of the discipline (Taylor Greene and Gabbidon 2003).…”

Ignoring the Past: Coverage of Slavery and Slave Patrols in Criminal Justice Texts

“…Walker and Brown (1995) had similarly concluded that none of the 13 introductory books they surveyed provided adequate coverage of race and ethnicity. Most recently, Taylor Greene, Gabbidon, and Ebersole (2001) were not only interested in visual portrayals and discussions of race but in how well the scholastic contributions of African American criminologists were included in delinquency textbooks. They found that although most of the delinquency texts had sections where race was discussed, little historical context was provided.…”
