Abstract: | In recent years multiple studies have used citation analysis as a way to examine the most cited scholars and works in criminology
and criminal justice and its subfields. This study is the first to focus on the most cited randomized experiments in criminological
research. Using citation counts from both Social Science Citation Index and Google Scholar, and multiple sources of randomized
experiments, I present the most cited experiments in six areas: policing, courts, corrections, schools, community, and early
prevention. Experiments published in non-criminological (e.g., medical) journals tend to be the most cited, and early prevention
research is generally cited most frequently of the six categories. I conclude by considering possible reasons why certain
experiments are more cited than others. |
