Policing Race Gender and Sex: A Review of Law Enforcement PoliciesGrowing attention to the unique ways in which women of color's bodies are racially profiled and policed has prompted questions concerning gender-specific impacts of law enforcement practices. Arrest statistics, patterns of enforcement, and high-profile cases of police violence against Black women and other women of color suggest that gaps in policy and implementation will disproportionately affect women of color. In the current research, the policies of 36 police departments across the country were examined to ascertain the degree to which they address profiling, police sexual misconduct, and other gendered experiences of policing. This article was published in Women and Criminal Justice, 2017, v.27(1), p. 21-50. The CSI Library has a current subscription to Women and Criminal Justice.
