“…This has been documented in several countries, including the UK (G. Dick & Metcalfe, 2007;Silvestri, 2006), USA (Archbold et al, 2010;Whetstone & Wilson, 1999), Sweden (Österlind & Haake, 2010), Australia and New Zealand (Prenzler, Fleming, & King, 2010). There is also evidence that the salaries of male and female police officers differ (Vuorensyrjä, 2011), as do their career patterns (Dodge, Valcore, & Klinger, 2010;Finstad, 1998, p. 194;Holdaway & Parker, 1998;Vuorensyrjä). It is interesting to note that, in spite of cross-cultural differences in police organisations and their proportions of women, the findings seem to be quite similar in different countries.…”

“…Furthermore, female police officers are still underrepresented in managerial and executive responsibilities (Gau et al, 2012). According to previous research, this is due to slower development of women's careers (Vuorensyrjä, 2014), fewer female police officers applying to certain ranks due to tokenism (C. Archbold & Schulz, 2008), views that females have lower capability in specific roles as leaders (Fejes & Haake, 2013), or other aspects of life such as family, childcare, and marriage (C. A. Archbold et al, 2010). An organizational condition affecting only pregnant women is the regulation concerning a shift from ordinary patrol duty to in‐house settings instead of light duty that injured male police officers are offered (Kingshott, 2013).…”

Professional development is important for the improvement of professional work. Particularly relevant to the concept of professional development is an occupation's character and the organizational arrangements for activities endorsing employees' professional development. In this article, police officers' professional development in the Swedish police organization is explored by analyzing officers' learning pathways and their experiences of crucial conditions that contribute to their professional development. Content analysis of interviews with six female and seven male police officers is conducted. The results show that diverging police responsibilities give rise to either self‐directed or information‐oriented learning pathways. Three aspects (i.e., the formal educational arrangement, the facilitation of learning by managers, and scheduled time for workplace learning) are seen as crucial conditions that endorse police officers' professional development in diverging ways due to the assigned responsibilities. These findings show that police officers' professional development is endorsed with differing strategic management patterns that affect the kinds of professional development activities that support different police positions.

“…Further, there is literature on police strategic and risk management, where it has been noted that the risks of police work relate for example to community unrest, use of force (Davies, 2017;Trochmann and Gover, 2016), or perceived stress (Hart et al, 1993). Stress and community unrest may also be visible at the organizational level financially because of, for example, absences or in overtime pay (De la Fuente et al, 2013;Niemi, 2012;Vuorensyrjä, 2012). In risk-management focused police research the focus often tends to be either on financial or personal aspects (e.g.…”
