Women in the Workforce, Women in Policing

• In Event: “Isn’t the Revolution Over?” The Demise or Persistence of Feminism in CJ and the Lives of Students

Abstract

Has the fight for women’s rights in the workforce ended? How is the United States fairing in comparison to other nations? This paper examines the current research on women in policing cross continental. Research on women and policing is often fragmented and focuses on one particular country, perhaps even comparing two countries across continents. This paper aims to close the loop by examining policing within several countries on each continent. A historical, cultural, and organizational analysis will be given to women in policing within the social context of each country examined.
