Abstract
Although recent research has examined numerous aspects of publications in criminal justice, one area left unexamined is the publication profile of criminal justice faculty during various stages of their careers. The publications for criminal justice faculty in various venues were considered covering three career periods and taking into account the prestige ranking of their program location. It was found that while little difference existed in overall journal publications between faculty members associated with programs of two prestige levels, faculty at the higher ranked programs published more frequently in core journals than did members of the lower ranking programs. On the other hand, faculty of lower ranking programs published books more frequently than members of higher ranking programs. The rate of publication productivity preceding promotion to associate professor approximated the rate for faculty at the associate rank.
