Abstract

While research has identified four main police supervisory styles, it is unclear whether the framework accurately represents the supervisory styles of women. We explored the benefits of promoting women in policing and examined their supervisory styles, drawing on interviews with 38 ranking women. Participants attributed three benefits to promoting women – diversity, people-orientation, and conscientiousness. All 34 who described their supervisory style fell into one of the four previously identified categories. Most common was innovative (50%), then supportive (32%), traditional (12%), and active (6%). We link findings to calls for gender diversity up the ranks of law enforcement.

女警察领导的福利与领导风格

虽然研究已经确定了四种主要的警察管理风格，但尚不清楚该框架是否准确地代表了女性的管理风格。我们通过对38名排名靠前的女性的采访，探讨了提升女性警务的好处，并考察了她们的管理风格。与会者认为促进妇女发展有三个好处:多样性、以人为本和尽责性。所有34位描述自己管理风格的人都属于前面确定的四种类型之一。最常见的是创新(50%)，其次是支持(32%)，传统(12%)和积极(6%)。我们将调查结果与执法人员性别多样化的呼吁联系起来。

期刊介绍： The main aim of Feminist Criminology is to focus on research related to women, girls and crime. The scope includes research on women working in the criminal justice profession, women as offenders and how they are dealt with in the criminal justice system, women as victims, and theories and tests of theories related to women and crime. The feminist critique of criminology incorporates a perspective that the paths to crime differ for males and females, thus research that uses sex as a control variable often fails to illuminate the factors that predict female criminality. This journal will highlight research that takes a perspective designed to demonstrate the gendered nature of crime and responses to crime.
