Abstract: The main aim of this research was to investigate changes in 
scholarly influence by identifying the most-cited scholars in twenty 
journals: five American criminology journals, five American criminal 
justice journals, five international criminology journals, and five 
international criminal justice journals. The most-cited works of the most-
cited scholars were also reported. Results obtained in 2000 were compared 
with previous findings in 1995 and 1990, and with results obtained from 
analyzing nine journals in 1996-2000. In 2000, the most-cited scholars 
were Robert J. Sampson in American criminology journals, Francis T. Cullen 
in American criminal justice journals, John Braithwaite in international 
criminology journals, and Robert D. Hare in international criminal justice 
journals. The expansion from nine to twenty journals benefited 
international scholars such as John Braithwaite and Richard V Ericson and 
scholars in less mainstream areas such as Murray A. Straus. Overall, 
Robert J. Sampson was the most-cited scholar in these twenty journals in 
2000, compared with Lawrence W. Sherman in 1995 and Marvin E. Wolfgang in 
1990. The prevalence of citations (the number of different articles in 
which a scholar was cited) and specialization (where a scholar's influence 
was based on one or two highly-cited works) were also studied. (C) 2008
