Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
""Policing and Gendered Justice" provides an excellent overview of the position of women working as police officers in both Canada and the United States, past and present. The integration of theory, empirical evidence, and policy implications is striking and offers a thorough treatment of what we know about women in policing today as well as a careful guide to research and planning for the future. The book would be useful in university courses that address policing more generally or those that focus on gender and workplace issues. The discussion of policy-oriented and feminist action research makes this contribution truly unique among the literature on work and gender issues in the criminal justice system." - Nancy Jurik, Arizona State University <p>"Certainly, there is a major need for more rigorous empirical and theoretical work on gender and policing in North America. Corsianos' path-breaking book answers this call and offers readers an insightful feminist analysis." - Walter DeKeseredy, University of Ontario Institute of Technology Read more...
