- This article explores the depth and dimensions of gender-based discrimination as perceived by female police officers. Using snowball sampling, 27 currently employed female law-enforcement officers in a large metropolitan area were interviewed. Qualitative data analysis techniques were used to analyze the findings and to extract the themes that emerged from the women's perceptions of discrimination coming from their male peers, from male supervisors or administrators, and from citizens of both sexes. Most of the policewomen interviewed reported experiencing discrimination from one or all of these sources. However, almost without exception, they saw their situation today as improved over that of the past policewomen

- Description
- This article examines how economic, emotional and social-power related factors affect victims' behaviour in favor of prosecution during police investigations. Data drawn from police records and police narrative reports indicated that mutual charge, dual arrest, the severity of assaults and the severity of injuries suffered by victims negatively affected the victims' behavior in favor of prosecution. These findings suggest that the norm of unequal relationships between men and women combined with an indiscriminate use of mutual charge and dual arrest without considering the defensive or offensive nature of violent acts can reduce trust in the criminal justice system among women victims of domestic violence and decrease the victims' interest in pursuing prosecution.

- Description
- In 1992, the Tamil Nadu State government in India began to introduce all-women police stations whose primary role is to deal with crimes against women, including family violence and dowry disputes. Dowry giving is a customary practice in India, which often results in disputes between young wives and their new families. As a result, the young women may be subjected to physical and mental ill treatment. Using detailed data from 474 case records and interviews with 60 dowry victims, this study examines how women police stations serve as a dispute processing system, and describes the services extended by the stations to the victims of dowry disputes.

- Description
- Some scholars argue that a greater number of women police officers may improve the plight of battered women through increased arrest rates and referrals to battered shelters. The authors examine how women and men police officers perceive and respond to a hypothetical realistic domestic violence situation, and three manipulated features of the situation: wife's conduct (normal, hallucinating, drunken), presence of visible injuries on the wife: and antagonism between wife and husband. Women and men did not differ on arrest rates: however, women were more likely to recommend battered shelters and less likely to recommend marriage counseling. These gender differences occurred only for experienced women. Women also assigned more importance to the victim's willingness to settle the argument in their arrest decisions.

- Description
- As the experiences of black battered women with the police remain an underresearched issue, the current study focuses on the police arrest decision for these victims compared to other victims. Two important research questions are answered: is the arrest rate for black battered women significantly lower compared to other domestic violence victims, and are there different factors influencing the police decision to arrest for these victims compared to others? Using data from a medium-sized Midwestern police department, a model of the arrest decision was analyzed using logistic regression to compare the police response to black battered women versus 'other' victims. Results indicated that four variables differed to a significant extent across models: victim age, suspect age, victim had a probable drug or alcohol problem, and children present at the scene.
