Gender and Policing is an innovative study of the real world of
street policing and the gender issues which are a central part of
this. Derived from extensive ethnographic research (involving
police responses to gangland shootings, high speed car chases as
well as more routine policing activities), this book examines the
way police attitudes and beliefs combine to perpetuate a working
culture which is dependent upon traditional conceptions of 'male'
and 'female'. In doing so it challenges previously held assumptions
about the way women are harassed, manipulated and constrained,
focusing rather on the more subtle impact of structures and norms
within police culture. Gender and Policing will be of interest to
all those concerned with questions of policing and gender, and
occupational culture more generally, while the theoretical
framework developed will provide an important foundation for
strategies of reform. At the same time the book provides a vivid
and richly textured picture of the realities of operational
policing in contemporary Britain.
