The five journals selected for content analysis were "The Journal of Criminal Justice", "Crime and Delinquency", "Criminology", "Federal Probation", and "The Journal of Police Science and Administration". The analysis included all published articles from the journals for 1976, 1979, 1982, 1985, and 1988. Results revealed that women are underrepresented as authors and editorial board members. They represent 21.9 percent of the membership in professional organizations, but the percentage of publications authored by women ranged from 8.9 percent to 15.6 percent. Women are also underrepresented on editorial boards; three journals have had no female editors, and one has never had a female on the editorial board. However, the percentage of women publishing in criminal justice appears to be growing rather quickly. If full participation in the publication process is desired, journals must make information about the publication process more accessible. Tables, footnotes, and 63 references
