This is the first book to offer a comprehensive and wide-ranging survey of women's role in policing, drawing both on the authors' original comparative research and on the questions, theories and findings raised by the existing literature. Within a global and historically sensitive framework, the book explores such themes as the gender dimension of policing, the representation of policewomen, the extent to which different national traditions diverge or converge, the strategies adopted by policewomen and their colleagues or organizations in order to address the particular problems and challenges that their roles raise.

An important work,
By
This review is from: Gender and Policing: Comparative Perspectives (Hardcover)
This is an important book that helps us prepare for a future where we recognize and appreciate the great strengths women bring to law enforcement. By understanding the global perspectives of women in law enforcement, we can begin to eliminate the stereotypes and encourage the entry and success of more women into this noble profession.

Women Police Internationally,
By Dorothy M. Schulz (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gender and Policing: Comparative Perspectives (Hardcover)
One of very few books describing the experiences of women police across national boundaries. Based on the authors' extensive research and interviews with women police officers, this book provides readers with a finely drawn picture of the roles women play in policing around the world.
