Definición

  • Since the 1970s and 1980s, the roles of women in law enforcement in any particular country have generally mirrored the social attitudes and prevailing customs toward women in the larger society. Contrary to the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and, to a lesser extent European and African nations, in many parts of the world women police are assigned to typically feminine jobs supervising or assisting women and children.
