Women in Control? by Heidensohn

How far have women progressed in the unfeminine career of policing? How far do they want to go and how far will their male colleagues and the public let them? This is a comparative work on women and law enforcement in Britain and the United States.
`This is an ambitious bookFrances Heidensohn presents an analysis of women in policing that is historical and comparative, empirical and theoretical, and that moves between policy and practice, between criminology and sociology. There is in short something for everyone and a very great deal for newcomers to the area.' The Howard Journal of Criminal Justice
'This is a timely and stimulating book and will be welcomed by students and analysts of both policing and gender studies as well as by practitioners and policy makers ... a thought provoking, question raising and very welcome addition to a fairly meagre literature devoted to gender issues in policing at a time, in both Britain and America, when the police service is pondering not only its role and style but also its essential function.' Jennifer Brown, British Journal of Criminology, Vol. 34, No. 1, Winter 1994
`a refreshing look at police through a study of British and US policewomen' British Journal of Sociology
