Challenges of Women in Policing

Women in policing face unique challenges, with their stories and experiences often overlooked. The historical violence against women by state authorities, dating back to the antebellum south, continues to impact women in law enforcement. Modern policing issues, such as lethal force, lack the inclusion of women's perspectives as both victims and officers. Efforts to elevate women in leadership roles, reduce violence against women, and increase representation are crucial.
