A police service in transformation: implications for women police officers

Abstract: This paper presents an overview of current trends besetting the police service in England and Wales, including the reduction of resources through austerity pressures, changing patterns of crime such as rises in cyber related offences, greater victim focus, the introduction of graduate entry and changes in political accountability through the newly elected Police and Crime Commissioners. Secondary analysis of data enabled an assessment of the degree to which these impacts the employment and deployment of women … Show more

“…An officer's gender may also be important in understanding the internalization of attitudes related to police integrity as the socialization of female police officers during their academy experiences and throughout their careers may differ from that of men, as they are underscored by hypermasculinity, sexual harassment, and stigma (Brown & Silvestri, 2020;Haarr, 2005;Prokos & Padavic, 2002;Rabe-Hemp, 2018;Rief & Clinkinbeard, 2020). The entry of women into policing following the 1964 and 1972 Civil Rights Acts was accompanied by male officer concerns regarding women's fitness for the police role, their position outside the "brotherhood," and their resulting lack of adherence to the police codes of solidarity and silence (Hunt, 1990).…”

“…Women are assigned to specific units or roles, such as caring for victims or settling disputes, which are thought most “suitable” for their gender; these same roles carry less prestige and go unrewarded socially and professionally (Garcia, 2003; Martin, 1999). The masculine nature of the field may also present itself through internal policies, such as requiring women to cut their hair before entering the academy or not getting a promotion even though they are fully qualified (Brown & Silvestri, 2019; Kringen & Novich, 2018). The masculine subcultures, which embodies traditional police values, brings about negative experiences for women via informal social interactions (Brown, 2007).…”

“…В подразделениях дознания и подразделениях по делам несовершеннолетних доля женщин составляет около 70 %, в следственных подразделениях и отделах кадров женщин-сотрудников около 50 % [Кузнецова, 2016]. Как бы то ни было, С. Мартин [Martin, 1996] [Brown, Silvestri, 2019], даже с ростом доли женщин в полиции говорить о феминизации полиции пока не представляется возможным, так как рост числа женщин в полиции произошел за счет снижения доли мужчин в полиции, а не за счет трансформации внутриорганизационной культуры, которая осталась практически неизменной. Как уже отмечалось, полиция остается преимущественно «мужской» сферой занятости.…”

“…В российском обществе также отмечаются следующие барьеры для женщин-полицейских: традиционные представления о «мужском» характере работы в полиции, ожидание маскулинизации женщины в полиции, ожидание отсутствия баланса между семьей и работой у сотрудницы правоохранительных органов, стереотип о недостаточной физической силе женщин для работы в полиции [Коротких, 2017]. В то же время, например, в Великобритании в последние годы акцент в полиции делается на более мягкие подходы в деятельности по обеспечению общественного порядка, что приводит к повышению ценности применения более «женских» подходов в полиции, тем самым благотворно сказываясь на положении женщин в полиции [McCarthy, 2013;Brown, Silvestri, 2019]. Таким образом, мы вполне можем причислить российскую полицию к традиционно «мужским» сферам занятости, несмотря на постепенный рост числа женщин в данной структуре.…”
