This study has two research objectives. First, we wanted to know what the gender and racial/ethnic makeup was for the field of American criminology in general. Second, we wanted to know how that general makeup compared to that of those occupying several positions of prestige within the field, for example, authors published in prominent journals. To answer these questions, we used an analytical approach loosely inspired by Pierre Bourdieu’s (1984, 1986) concepts of the field and capital. Bourdieu theorized various social spheres as hierarchically arranged “fields,” comprised of diverse positions, which are endowed with multiple currencies of power, or what he called capital. Prestigious and privileged positions within the field are endowed with greater capital, and vice versa for marginalized positions. Thus, we conceptualize criminology as such a field. For example, being a first-year graduate student is to occupy a position of relatively low standing, and thus little capital, while being a tenured professor who has won major awards is to occupy a position with far more prestige and capital. To investigate the demographic composition of these positions, we used three data types—membership lists from the ASC, authorship data from three top-tier criminological journals, and lists of award winners and officeholders from the ASC.
