How Women in Policing Navigate Gender Expectations & Identities in Scottish Police Culture

苏格兰妇女参与警务100周年的庆祝活动倡导女警官的进步和提高，重点放在内部的性别议程上。我提出的研究试图重新调整学术界对苏格兰警察内部存在的不平等和分歧的关注;质疑苏格兰警察中的女性如何驾驭与男性警察文化相关的明显冲突的性别身份。这项研究还试图突出社会科学研究在揭露经常被视为理所当然的压迫制度和与刑事司法组织的利益冲突方面的突出性。首要的研究问题“警务中的妇女如何在苏格兰警察文化中驾驭性别期望和身份？“分为三个小问题。考虑到围绕女警察的相互矛盾的证据以及优先考虑妇女自身观点的突出性（Flavin，2001年：274），“苏格兰女警察在多大程度上认为两性不平等是一个问题？'.同样，“女性官员是否感到持续的阻力或男女同事的广泛接受？“力求确立积极和消极的经验，反对将女警察视为受害者，以及妇女是否感到被女同事从属。女公务员对兼职和弹性工作模式有何体验？“也应该加以探讨，因为它是警务工作中性别平等的最大障碍（Wood，2013年）。

Celebrations of the 100th anniversary of women in Scottish policing advocate the progress and advancement of female officers, focusing the gender agenda internally. My proposed research attempts to realign academic attention on the inequalities and divisions that exist within Police Scotland; questioning how women in Scottish policing navigate the apparent conflictual gender identities associated with the masculine cop culture. This research also attempts to highlight the saliency of social scientific research in exposing often taken for granted oppressive systems and conflicts of interest with in Criminal Justice Organisations. The overarching research question 'How do Women in Policing Navigate Gender Expectations & Identities in Scottish Police Culture?' is broken down into three sub-questions. Given the conflicting evidence surrounding policewomen and saliency of prioritising women own perspectives (Flavin, 2001:274) 'To what extent is gender inequality perceived as a problem among Scottish Policewomen?'. Likewise, 'Do female officers feel continual resistance or wide acceptance from male and female colleagues?' seeks to establish both positive and negative experiences, opposing depictions of policewomen as victims and whether women feel subordinated by fellow female colleagues. 'What are femaleofficer's experiences of part-time and flexible working patterns?' shall also be explored given its framing as biggest barrier to gender equality in policing (Wood, 2013).
