Women in Public and Private Law Enforcement is hands-down the most
comprehensive examination of women in law enforcement to date. Most
importantly, it fills the current void that exists for texts on
this important and growing area of law enforcement. Both public and
private sector law enforcement are covered including policing and
private security. For policing this includes not only municipal
policing, but also state and federal law enforcement. For the
security industry, coverage includes not only private security
guards but also various other occupations that may be included
under private security such as protection specialists.
Women in Public and Private Law Enforcement is intended for
academicians and students of sociology, criminal justice,
psychology, business, management and loss prevention as a resource
on women in non-traditional occupations, specifically law
enforcement. It is also intended for professionals in the field
today, to apprize them of contemporary issues for women in law
enforcement and serve as a reference to guide policy and procedure
development.
Authors Pamela Collins and Kathryn Scarborough not only define
distinctions in law enforcement and private security but also
provide an understanding of the importance of specificity, with
regard to this occupational analysis. The authors' diverse
background allows them to offer uniquely complementary approach,
emphasizing both the importance of understanding the professions
from a practical standpoint, while at the same time giving credence
to academic analysis.
The book's primary focus is on gender with limited attention
paid to race and ethnicity. Some comparisons are made when
appropriate, but the ultimate goal is to provide the reader the
most comprehensive analysis with respect to gender. Finally, the
authors provide women in law enforcement today with detailed
analysis and description of how far they have come, the struggles
they have faced, the challenges they have overcome, and the
achievements they have made.
