Women Police examines the professional roles, identities,
activities and everyday experiences of women employed within the UK
police service since the First World War against a backdrop of
social and cultural change. As the first in-depth historical study
of women's involvement in uniform, plain-clothes and undercover
policing in the period before formal integration with male officers
in the 1970s, it charts the relationship between gender,
surveillance and penal-welfare strategies. For much of the
twentieth century women police played a 'specialist' role in the
detection and prevention of child abuse and neglect, the
investigation of sexual violence and, in London, the regulation of
prostitution. The book shows how women officers fashioned their own
'feminine' occupational culture and style of working in relation to
male colleagues, other professionals and the women and children
they encountered. Jackson concludes by examining experiences at the
end of the twentieth century, comparing and contrasting the
differing concepts of 'equality' that have shaped women's
involvement in the police service. -- .
