Policewomen

Meer over het boek

The evolution of women's roles in policing spans three significant phases, starting in the 1880s with their initial acceptance as police matrons with restricted responsibilities. By the early 20th century, women were recognized as policewomen, marking a shift in their roles. The late 1960s and early 1970s saw the integration of women as general duty officers, a change influenced by the active women's movement advocating for equality and expanded opportunities within law enforcement.
