Women In Policing Around The World: Doing Gender And Policing In A Gendered Organization (Advances In Police Theory And Practice)

Research on women and policing is often fragmented—focusing on one particular country, or at most, comparing one or two countries across continents. This book aims to close the loop by examining policing within several countries on all five continents. The author provides a historical, cultural, and organizational analysis within the social context of each country examined. Discussions include the sociology of gender, attitudes towards women in policing, best practice strategies for improvement, and issues faced by working mothers.
