Gender and Policing: Changes and Contrasts

Frances Heidensohn, University of London, Goldsmiths College

ABSTRACT
This paper examines the changing nature of women TCOs participation in policing. It compares and contrasts the career developments of female officers over time. In this paper, data drawn from two international samples of policewomen interviewed in the late 1980s and 1990s will be used to chart and map developments. The comparative nature of this research provides a greater insight into police women TCOs careers within a global setting.
