An important work about law enforcement,
By
This review is from: Gender And Community Policing: Walking the Talk (Northeastern Series on Gender, Crime, and Law) (Hardcover)
Miller confronts an important issue that puts focus on the important skills that women bring to the law enforcement arena. Recruitment policies that favor men, and biased entry tests that perpetuate disriminatory requirements must be replaced by an honest assessment of an individual's ability to sucessfully manage dangerous situations. Only then may we move towards a society that recognizes and appreciates the great strengths that women bring to law enforcement.

A great book on Community Policing,
By
This review is from: Gender And Community Policing: Walking the Talk (Northeastern Series on Gender, Crime, and Law) (Paperback)
I have always been interested in Community Policing. This book discusses Community Policing in a small Neighbourbood town and discusses the differences between Community Policing Officers (known as Neighbourhood Policing Officers) and Patrol Officers, specifically the gender differences. The author investigates if a particular gender is more suited to one of the two types of policing. The study is qualitative, which I prefer over quantitative. This gives the readers a strong understanding of the experiences of male and female Neighbourhood Policing Officers and Patrol Officers and the gender issues they face. Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in policing in general, community policing, or gender issues.
