Progression towards gender equality is slow despite multiple efforts to enable change. Greater attention is needed regarding men’s perspectives on gender equality, including the preconceptions and prejudices that sustain this hegemonic masculine culture. Drawing on a survey of the whole population of the Icelandic police force, we find gender differences in attitudes towards gender equality and gendered stereotypes. Men are more likely to believe that there are equal opportunities within the police force despite holding negative attitudes regarding women’s ability to serve in the police. Young policemen and those policemen that are not satisfied with their own career progression are more likely to have negative attitudes towards women, although for different reasons, than their older and their more satisfied male colleagues. Applying Connell’s hegemonic masculinities, Silvestri’s exemplar of the ‘ideal’ police officer and Kimmel’s theorisation of male entitlement, we contend that hegemonic masculinity, specifically the exemplar of the ‘ideal’ police officer and police leader, stimulates masculine entitlement. Policing and Society - Registration at source 5/5/2021 Research article Equity in the Police Districting Problem: Balancing Territorial and Racial Fairness in Patrolling Operations The Police Districting Problem concerns the definition of patrol districts that distribute police resources in a territory in such a way that high-risk areas receive more patrolling time than low-risk areas, according to a principle of territorial fairness. This results in patrolling configurations that are efficient and effective at controlling crime but that, at the same time, might exacerbate racial disparity in police stops and arrests. In this paper, an Equitable Police Districting Problem that combines crime-reduction effectiveness with racial fairness is proposed. The capability of this model in designing patrolling configurations that find a balance between territorial and racial fairness is assessed. Also, the trade-off between these two criteria is analyzed. Journal of Quantitative Criminology 5/5/2021 Research article Civilian Police Oversight: A Contemporary Review of Police Oversight Mechanisms in Europe, Australia and Africa This paper, which is based on literature and documentary survey, explores civilian police oversight mechanisms in Europe, Australia and Africa. The paper reveals that Europe has several nations with independent institutions to investigate police misconduct; thought there is limited empirical research on the effectiveness of these institutions. Independent police oversight institutions in Australia have limited investigative powers and they are more of review boards. Two African countries- Kenya and South Africa have independent institutions to investigate police misconduct, though the effectiveness of these two institutions has been questioned.
