Hughes ABSTRACT. Content analysis of criminological research articles pub- lished in various American and Britishjournals between 1895 and 1997 is used to assess concerns about the representation of females in the study of crime and delinquency. Findings reveal a severe and long-term underrepresentation of females in criminological research. This appears to be related to the tendency of numerically dominant male researchers to focus on male subjects. However, research on and about females has not been conducted primarily by female researchers nor has the focus of such research been mainly on such a female offense as prostitution. Implications of these findings are discussed. [Article copies available for a feefrom The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-HAWORTH.
