A recent study developed a procedure to use citation analyses of criminology journals and textbooks to estimate the “match” between what journals report and what textbooks discuss. Here this estimation procedure is extended to criminal justice journals and textbooks. Sixteen criminal justice textbooks published from 1989 to 1993 are ranked by how prominently they cite the 20 most frequently cited scholars in recent leading criminal justice journals. The results of this analysis are compared with findings from the earlier study of the match between criminology journals and textbooks. I suggest reasons why criminal justice textbook authors prominently cite and discuss some influential scholars but not others, and conclude by noting several limitations to the use of citation analyses to estimate the match between journals and textbooks
