Summary

"This research examines the perceptions and attitudes of female police officers in Atlantic Canada with reference to traditional police culture, management, work ethic and their own sense of "self." This type of research is rare and has never been studied within the Atlantic Provinces. The purpose of this thesis is to study the personal experiences of the female police officer and her perceptions of the police environment. The police environment encompasses personal and working relationships within the station house as well as interaction and activities outside. The research questions ask about the relationship between the female officer and the police subculture and how the woman, in her capacity as a police officer copes with the police subculture. It examines her relationship with police management, external constituencies such as the public she meets during the course of her duties, and the perceptions she has of herself outside of the occupation."--Page 3.
