Summary: Abstract Introduction: On occasion of the 60th issue of Revista Criminalidad since its very first edition, an analysis of its contents in the 2008 to 2016 period took place, this period being distinguished by having paid attention for the first time to indexation and summarizing database parameters. Method: a classification of articles and authors was made, this allowing for quantification by country, type of article, number of works and authors, among other criteria. The information was analyzed and tabulated in Excel; similarly, a lexicometric analysis of abstracts was carried out. Results: their publication helped increased the number of articles to come to light later, among which those relating to scientific research prevailed along with the most approached topics such as subjects relating to the National Police and the police environment connected to citizen security and homicides; in the second place there are other more generally discussed crime and insecurity-related matters and several works on the realities of Colombia, Mexico, Chile, and Spain. Likewise, there was an increase in the number of administrative records of crimes submitted in the magazine. Discussions and conclusions: given the prevalence of articles in Spanish, the publication should be expanded to audiences in America and Europe, thus articles in English should be increased for a higher impact English-speaking scientists.
