“…Overall, these data suggest that women are likely to be doing the research. This finding is consistent with the earlier research by Kim and Merlo (2012) and Kim and Hawkins (2013) which found that women scholars devote a large proportion of their research to women-related topics. It is possible that issues that focus on women and crime are most attractive to women researchers (Kim & Merlo, 2012).…”

Despite the recent advocacy of comparative/international and collaborative research by the leaders in the field of criminology and criminal justice, there is uncertainty regarding how much comparative/international research on the topic of women is being conducted. Using the published abstracts of papers presented at the American Society of Criminology (ASC) Annual Meeting and the European Society of Criminology (ESC) Annual Meeting, the authors examine presentations on women and crime with a cross-cultural or international focus. The current study found that research on crime with an international or comparative focus accounted for an average 14.1% of the ASC women and crime presentations over the 12-year period, and about 24.2% of the ESC women and crime presentations over the 10-year period. With respect to comparing the topical areas of the research, domestic violence was the most prevalent topic in presentations on women and crime at both the ASC and ESC Annual Meetings, while presentations on sex crimes and trafficking occurred more frequently at the ESC Annual Meetings than the ASC Annual Meetings. The authors also discuss the role that the ASC Division of Women and Crime and the Gender, Crime and Justice Working Group of the ESC can play to encourage the study of women and crime internationally.

“…The content of articles published in journals could be influenced by the interests of editors and editorial board members (Kim and Hawkins, 2013). Of 18 editorial board members of PQ, 35 editorial board members of PIJPSM, and 29 editorial board members of P&S, only two are affiliated with East Asian countries; Dr Yumin R. Wang, Meiho University, Taiwan (PIJPSM ) and Setsuo Miyazawa, Omiya Law School, Japan (P&S ).…”

“…An editor relies on the peer reviewers' recommendations and advice. Recommendations, however, of peer reviewers frequently conflict and their advice is often contradictory, especially with international and 624 PIJPSM 37,3 comparative manuscripts (Kim and Hawkins, 2013). Diverse recommendations from reviewers reflect, in part, the fact that international or comparative research often goes beyond traditional or mainstream topics, analyses, and inquiries (Tatum, 2002).…”

Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies &Amp; Management

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose – Little information on dissemination of publications on policing issues in East Asia in which one-fifth of the world's population lives is available. The research questions for the paper are: how extensive is the coverage of papers focussing on policing in East Asia; on which East Asian countries have the papers covered during the 14-year period from 2000 to 2013; what are the topics/primary issues of policing in East Asia covered across the journals; and what are the affiliations represented of authors who have published papers on policing in East Asia. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – This study is a content analysis of major policing specialty journals listed in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) in terms of the number and focus of studies on East Asian police papers. Data came from 1,123 papers published in three policing journals of Police Quarterly, Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies & Management, and Policing and Society: An International Journal of Research and Policy during the period of 2000-2013. Findings – Only 3.4 percent (n=38) of the 1,123 articles published in the three journals were on policing issues in East Asia nations. The vast majority (76.3 percent) were published in Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies & Management. Staff issue was the most frequently researched topic. In total, 42 percent of the papers were on South Korean policing issues, followed by 31 percent on Chinese policing topics. Finally, about 45 percent of the papers were written by only US-affiliated authors, 40 percent by authors affiliated with institutions in East Asia, and only 16 percent were written in collaboration between authors associated with USA and East Asian institutions. Originality/value – The main intent of this study is to provide information seekers with a guide to what research on policing in East Asia is being published.

“…A more recent study found that over a 100-year period (1895-1995), male authors outnumbered female ones four-to-one (Hughes, 2005). Similarly, a more recent study, adding race to the conversation, found that men (more specifically White men) dominated the most visible publishing positions; in a review of 20 years’ worth of data, White men made up 77.1% of those ranked as top-cited criminologists, compared with White women (12.4%), non-White men (1.3%), and non-White women (0.7%) (Kim & Hawkins, 2013). Relatedly, research indicates that men disproportionately occupy editorial positions within criminological publishing (Eigenberg & Baro, 1992).…”

Criminology has historically exhibited a significant gender bias. Yet, spurred by feminist efforts, criminology has become more gender-inclusive recently. Research has documented this bias, and gains made by women. However, much of this research examines only gender bias, ignoring other important factors such as race. In this article, we examine gender and racial bias in criminology, conceptualizing the discipline as a Bourdieusian field, characterized by hierarchically arranged positions. We find that though women are present in nearly equal numbers to men, non-White people have a more limited presence, and White men dominate in positions endowed with the highest amounts of prestige and power.
