“Women’s Inhumanity Towards Women?” Treatment of Female Crime Suspects By Female Officers of the Nigerian Police
This article presents findings from a new qualitative study of female offenders’ interactions with Nigerian policewomen. Against the position of policing literature and feminists and gender advocates that abusive treatment of female arrestees is a function of policemen’s misconduct, this study exposes the active roles played by policewomen in inflicting violence on female detainees. We argue therefore that the mere increase in number and participation of policewomen in the criminal justice system will not address the violent treatment of female suspects; rather, the restructuring of the power dynamics in the police that currently subjects policewomen to the definitions, acceptance, and approval of male-dominant superiors is required.

Discovering An Organisational Paradox: the Reduction–expansion Perceptions in A Police Training Organisation
In a dynamic and competitive environment, how do complex organisations maintain continuity and function without falling apart? This question will be examined in the context of the Israeli Police training organisation, which consists of several sub-organisations. Although they share similar goals, each has different objectives, trains police of different duties, and operates in a different geographical location. The common organisational characteristics promote shared perception and behaviour patterns for employees, which in turn, stabilise the organisation facing a complex environment. To reveal common perceptions of the training personnel, the research methodology chosen was qualitative, specifically, grounded theory methodology. The shared pattern reflects a paradoxical perception which simultaneously incorporates two poles – reductive and expansive – in each of four organisational core components diagnosed in the research:

Does Trust in Supervisors Translate to Compliance and Cooperation? A Test of Internal Procedural Justice Among Taiwanese Police Officers
The procedural justice model of policing has gained much popularity in scholarship and empirical support in democracies, yet research on the procedural justice within police organizations, particularly the mediating mechanisms connecting internal procedural justice and officer behavioral tendencies, is rather limited. With an aid of survey data collected from Taiwanese police officers, this study tests the connections between internal procedural justice and officers’ compliance with agency rules and cooperation with supervisors via an essential element—trust in supervisors. Internal procedural justice was found to be directly related to trust in supervisors and officer cooperation with supervisor, whereas the association between internal procedural justice and compliance with agency rules is mainly indirect through trust in supervisors. This study concludes with discussing research and pragmatic implications of findings.
