Specialized Unit Participation and Perspectives of Female Law Enforcement Officers Over the past few decades, the presence of women on specialized units has become more commonplace. Despite this, they are still under-represented, especially among traditionally male-dominated units. This exploratory study surveyed 76 female law enforcement officers to gauge the types of specialized units in which they participate and assess their perceptions about working in a male dominated field. Results indicated that while a large portion of the women in our sample were in specialized units, they were more likely to work in units that fit their gender stereotype. Further analyses revealed striking trends among those women more recently hired in terms of their perception about fitting in specialized units and the number and types of units in which they participate. Implications for law enforcement practitioners, suggestions to overcome continued gender inequality in specialized units and recommendations to expand this research are discussed.

Mail Online 19/12/2021 News Examining the Relationship Between the Unique Work Experiences and Cultural Orientations of Police Officers The current study builds upon limited prior research that has assessed the relationship between elements of police culture and a host of unique officer work experiences (e.g. tenure, assigned shift and area, the number of shifts and areas worked, supervisory experience, specialized unit assignment). The sample consists of survey data from over 700 officers from a large police department in the western United States. The results demonstrated that while officers’ assigned shift and area had little effect, a number of other experiences were influential. Officers who had worked a greater number of shifts in their career were more likely to view policing as dangerous; and patrol officers were more likely to view management negatively. Further, specialized unit officers were less likely to view citizens negatively and less oriented toward order-maintenance or community policing than their patrol counterparts. Importantly, experience as measured simply by the number of years on the job, as opposed to other unique work experiences, showed that more senior officers were less likely to view citizens negatively and believe crime fighting should be a top priority, but more likely to view top management through a negative lens. We conclude by reviewing several implications and directions for future research Criminal Justice Studies - Registration at source 19/12/2021 Research article Does justice for victims always have to mean criminal justice?
