Abstract
The Journal of Criminal Justice Education (JCJE) is one of the two official peer-reviewed journals of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. JCJE was established in 1990 in an effort to provide a publication outlet specifically devoted to criminological and criminal justice teaching. Through its rich 22-year history, the articles that have been published in JCJE remain true to its original intent and purpose. Relying on descriptive statistics and utilizing a new software program, Harzing’s Publish or Perish, the current study provides a detailed examination of the role, impact, and breadth of JCJE. The results indicate that articles published in JCJE have accumulated nearly 4,000 citations and articles devoted to teaching methods and pedagogy remain the most prevalent type of JCJE articles. However, other categories such as publication productivity studies, graduate education, faculty perceptions, academic integrity/performance, and college student perceptions have increasingly been published in JCJE and are often among the most frequently cited JCJE articles. Study limitations and directions for future research are discussed.
