Women in Control?: The Role of Women in Law Enforcement

Frances Heidensohn
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 noi 1995
How far have women progressed in the `unfeminine' career of policing? How far do they want to go and how far will their male colleagues, and the public, let them?Women in Control? breaks new ground by discussing the role of women in relation to controlling crime and disorder. Since the early twentieth century, women have struggled to gain influence in policing, but progressed only slowly until the 1970s, when equal opportunities legislation brought integration and some measure of success. Based on a series of interviews with British and US officers, Women in Control? examines their experiences in dealing with crime, vice, and everyday incidents, and with the hostility and harassment of their male colleagues, and highlights both the role of women in law enforcement in two societies and the importance of gender in social control.

Recenzii

`This is an ambitious book. Frances Heidensohn presents an analysis of women in policing that is historical and comparative, empirical and theoretical, and that moves between policy and practice, between criminology and sociology. There is in short something for everyone and a very great deal for newcomers to the area.'The Howard Journal of Criminal Justice
'This is a timely and stimulating book and will be welcomed by students and analysts of both policing and gender studies as well as by practitioners and policy makers ... a thought provoking, question raising and very welcome addition to a fairly meagre literature devoted to gender issues in policing at a time, in both Britain and America, when the police service is pondering not only its role and style but also its essential function.'Jennifer Brown, British Journal of Criminology, Vol. 34, No. 1, Winter 1994
`a refreshing look at police through a study of British and US policewomen'British Journal of Sociology
