Women Policing Across the Globe fills a void in comparative research about women’s integration into policing. It illustrates the difficulties comparing women’s and their agencies’ expectations of their roles across cultures and national boundaries. — Dorothy Moses Schulz, PhD, Professor Emerita, John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY), author of "Breaking the Brass Ceiling: Women Police Chiefs and Their Paths to the Top"
Women Policing Across the Globe is a must-read for police practitioners, scholars, and students who want to understand the unique experiences of female officers working in police agencies around the world. This collection of chapters challenges readers to think about how organizational policies and practices influence the workplace experiences of women who wear the badge beyond the borders of the United States.
