Data from ASC membership lists are useful for a general survey of the criminological field. However, not all members of the field possess equal amounts of the various forms of criminological capital (Bourdieu, 1986). Publishing in top-tier journals gives an individual significant visibility and prestige in the field and, thus, increases capital. With this in mind, we did a content analysis of authors in three top-tier criminological journals from 2013 to investigate the gender and racial makeup in this elevated position. The results of this analysis indicated that the gender parity present in ASC membership is not replicated among authors in top-tier journals. Among the 232 authors in the sample, 135 (58.2%) were male, whereas 95 (40.9%) were female. Thus, it seemed to us that gender inclusiveness was significantly lower in this place of higher prestige. Following this logic, we hypothesized that gender inequity in publishing would be even greater among first authors, as being first author is more prestigious than being a subsequently listed author. When we narrowed our analysis to first authors only, we found slightly greater gender bias. Among the 98 first authors in our sample, 59 (60.2%) were male, whereas 38 (38.8%) were female.
