Equality with Women in Policing Annotated Bibliography
Equality with Women in Policing
An Annotated Bibliography
THESIS STATEMENT I believe that women in policing are still, to this day, not treated as equally as men. Women police officers have always been discriminated against. I believe this is true because many women advance in police work but few actually pursue it. Being in the criminal justice field wanting to pursue this career as a woman, I felt it was my duty to find a lot of research to discuss the negativity towards women, the challenges they may face, and how they need to overcome this and focus on getting the job done. This has been happening since the first woman on the police force in 1873 to 2010. One hundred and seventy three years later, nothing has changed. How are women going to get the job if they are not being properly utilized during training, or if they are even able to be put through training? Women face many forms of discrimination. One being the way they are portrayed to the community and to other officers. Another is how they are compared to male officers and how it is assumed they are not as equal as them. Hopefully the bias of sexism will be altered so that more women have the opportunity to be just as happy going into the career as they were studying it. One day, hoping to work in police force more research will be done and lesser to none of the discrimination will exist.
