Thriving in an all-boys club : female police and their fight for equality / by Rabe-Hemp, Cara E.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 187-201) and index.Introduction: The history of women in policing : matrons to patrol officers -- Section I: Female police officers of the 1980s : Title Niners. Girls, why do you want to be police officers when you grow up? ; Becoming a police officer ; Changing the gender of policing ; Facing the intimidations of harassment and discrimination ; The dangers on the beat -- Section II: Female police officers of the 1990s : crime fighters or communication experts. Community policing ; Pathways and entering police work ; Gaining acceptance and culture shock ; Making rank : glass ceiling or escalator? -- Section III: Female police officers of the 2000s : career minded and college educated. Doing policing differently? ; Women's work ; Motherhood ; Work and life balance -- Conclusion: The current status of women police and future directions."In 1845 women entered the career of policing, and ever since it's been an evolving history for them. There are countless stories of women shaping this career, adding particular gifts and abilities to the profession. There are, also, countless stories of their struggles to fit in and survive in this "all-boys club." Thriving in an All Boys Club: Female Police and Their Fight for Equality examines one of the most debated issues surrounding female police officers - their ability to find acceptance in the male subculture. Through the stories of women who joined policing in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, readers learn that women's acceptance in policing is complex and officer's experiences are wide-ranging. Stories of resistance and harassment by colleagues, the glass ceiling in promotion, and gender specific obstacles related to pregnancy and childcare are common. Their stories show a strong sense of determination and perseverance to perform the duties of police officer. The potential for enduring change in the field of policing is growing as women continue to make strides in achieving high ranks, breaking down assignments barriers, and ensuring just opportunities for future generations of female police officers. Despite the struggles that women face to survive in the "all-boys club" of policing, women not only survive, most thrive in this almost exclusively male occupation." -- Publisher's description

Echoes in death / by Robb, J. D.,1950-;
After a party in New York, Lieutenant Eve Dallas rides home with her billionaire husband, Roarke, happy to be done with cocktails and small talk. When a young woman -- dazed, naked, and bloody -- wanders in front of their car, Roarke slams on the brakes just in time, and Eve, still in glittering gown and heels, springs into action. It's been a long night for the tired homicide cop, and it's far from over. Daphne Strazza is rushed to the ER, but it's too late for husband Dr. Anthony Strazza. A brilliant orthopedic surgeon, he now lies dead amid the wreckage of his obsessively organized town house, his three safes opened and emptied. Daphne would be a valuable witness, but in her terror and shock the only description of the perp she can offer is repeatedly calling him "the devil" While it emerges that Dr. Strazza was cold, controlling, and widely disliked -- and that he treated Daphne like a trophy wife -- evidence doesn't point to the spouse as the suspect. So Eve and her team must interview everyone from dinner-party guests to professional colleagues to caterers, in a desperate race to answer some crucial questions: What does the devil look like? And where will he show up next?
