Abstract
[Abstract]: The purpose of this paper is to assess the level of international, non-Anglo-American involvement in the editorial boards and content of the leading international journals of criminology
and criminal law to investigate a reported bias against non-Anglo-American material. The
research employed editorial board and content analysis of ten leading journals of criminology
and criminal law, selected because of their international involvement according to their own
aims and scope’s description. Most of the ten journals were found to have low levels of
international involvement, with high proportions of both Anglo-American authors and data,
and Anglo-American membership of editorial boards. The editorial board analysis also
revealed institutional links with journal boards and a network of overlapping membership
between the editorial boards. This suggests the existence of networks of Anglo-American
scholars who are naturally inclined to favour research that fits their worldview. Such networks
create a hierarchy of knowledge that favours the one produced in the US and the UK and
promotes the scientific success of Anglo-American scholars and contents. However, although
the shadow of Anglo-American dominance continues to lie over the two fields, there is also
evidence of increasing research and authorship diversity. Perhaps, we are entering a new era of
research internationalism.
