Building on comparative research in the U.K. and the U.S.A., this
is the first book focused specifically on transgender experiences
within policing. It examines the issues faced by the transgender
community within policing and explores how gender, and the
non-conformity of it, is perceived within police cultures.
Moreover, it provides an on-going critique of the queer criminology
movement and why it is crucial to policing studies, emphasising the
specific importance of transgender issues therein. This empirical
book provides qualitative data from American officers and English
and Welsh constables on transgender police. The following research
questions are addressed: What are the perceptions of cisgender
officers towards transgender officers, and what are the
consequences of these perceptions? What are the occupational
experiences and perceptions of officers who identify as transgender
within policing? Finally, what are the reported positive and
negative administrative issues that transgender individuals face
within policing? The author concludes by discussing the empirical,
theoretical and policy contributions of this research and offers
some final thoughts on policy recommendations and directions for
future research. A strong contribution to the literature in
critical criminology and queer criminology, this book will also be
of interest to those in the fields of gender studies, sociology,
public administration, management studies and policing studies.
