Download or read book The Pregnancy Police written by Grace E. Howard and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades before the overturning of Roe v. Wade, pregnant people faced arrest and prosecution for supposed crimes against the fertilized eggs, embryos, and fetuses they gestated. The Pregnancy Police investigates the legal arguments undergirding these prosecutions and sheds much-needed light on the networks of health-care providers, social workers, and legal personnel participating in this ongoing surveillance and punishment of pregnant people. Drawing on detailed analyses of legislation, statements from prosecutors and law enforcement, and records from over a thousand arrest cases, Grace E. Howard traces the long history of state attempts to regulate and control people who have the capacity for pregnancy—from the early twentieth century's white supremacist eugenics to the end of Roe and the ever-increasing criminalization of abortion across the United States.

Download or read book Women Police written by Patricia W. Lunneborg and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2004 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can be done to stop the declining numbers of women in law enforcement? If information is power, then Women Police: Portraits of Success could well reverse that trend. Author Patricia Lunneborg traveled from Anchorage to Brooklyn and points in between to conduct in-depth interviews with over 50 women officers, from small-town sergeant to the head of the Alaska State Patrol. What drew them to the job in the first place? What keeps them on the job? What are their daily challenges and satisfactions? How do they balance work and family? What are their ideas for improving all aspects of the system--recruiting, training, retention, and promotion? Portraits is a powerful recruitment tool, an essential primer for women thinking about a job in law enforcement. The book also serves the general public seeking answers to what the job is really like, career counselors, police recruiters, and law enforcement agencies at city, state, and federal levels trying to attract more women to protect and serve. Written in a direct, personal style, this unique book belongs on library shelves in Career Counseling, Women's Studies, Society and Justice, Sociology. Where else can a woman learn if the police service is for her and the general public find out what the job is really about?

Download or read book Women in Police Work in Chicago written by Ralph Knoohuizen and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluation of the police department's employment policies toward women which examines the validity of the assumption that the police officer's job is 'man's work' and the desirability of its effect on police hiring. This report first examines the law regarding police department hiring practices toward women and then considers evidence regarding the capability of women in police work. The policies of the Chicago Police Department regarding the hiring and assignment of women are detailed and it is concluded that the steps being taken by the department to expand the role of women in police work are not sufficient to bring it into compliance with federal or state law. Several recommendations are suggested which would assist the department in fulfilling the requirements of the law and insuring a more effective police force. They include advertising and administering a single, job-related entrance examination to applicants of both sexes; filling all interim vacancies with eligible applicants, regardless of previous sex quotas; and reassigning all present policewomen wanting another assignment. Also recommended were permanently assigning all women presently in training to patrol duty, bringing in outside consultants to evaluate the impact of an increased number of women in a broader range of police assignments; and providing identical recruit training for both sexes. The appendix contains a copy of a police circular on the utilization of policewomen on patrol in the District of Columbia.

Download or read book Police Women written by Sandra K. Wells and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-09-30 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often said that a woman must do a job twice as well as a man in order to get half the credit. This is particularly true of women in law enforcement. Women have been involved in various forms of policing for the last 100 years, but it wasn't until the Equal Employment Act of 1970 that women could move from the job of meter maids to patrol and detective work. Yet less than 1% of all top-level cops are women, and there remain significant obstacles in the career paths of women in the force. This book looks at the history of women police officers and provides first-hand accounts of women at every level, including those who drop out. It addresses discrimination, competition, lack of mentoring, differential treatment and sexual harrassment, examining what issues play into the decision to stick it out or leave that many policewomen face. It also considers the family issues these women return home to at the end of the day. It is often said that a woman must do a job twice as well as a man in order to get half the credit.

It looks at what plays into the decision to stick it out or leave that many policewomen face. It also considers the family issues these women return home to at the end of the day. Unlike other treatments of the subject, Alt and Wells show how women have changed police work into a more community-oriented model of policing, reduced police violence, served as a strong force to promote a more effective response to domestic violence within police departments, and helped with community-police relations. With a combination of first-hand accounts, careful research, and lively analysis, the authors are able to convey the actual experiences of women who have made their careers behind the shield.
