This book is concerned with the gendered world of police leadership
at a time when calls are being made for a different kind of police
leader to guide the organisation through the twenty-first century.
Drawing on in-depth interviews carried out with senior policewomen
across a range of police forces in England and Wales, Women in
Charge is the first book to provide a detailed study of women in
police leadership. The work challenges existing conceptualisations
and theorisations of police culture for the study of police
leaders, demonstrating the various ways in which police cultures
are shaped by both rank and gender. Women in police leadership face
a different kind of gendered environment than their non-managerial
counterparts, one in which a 'smart macho' culture of police
management dominates. At the same time this book investigates the
extent to which senior policewomen are involved in developing new
styles and conceptualisations of leadership. It argues that women
are involved in promoting a different kind of police leadership,
using more consultative and holistic styles - styles not
traditionally associated with the police organisation.
