Anqi Shens fascinating study of women police in China reminds us that comparative scholarship cannot ignore national contexts, policies and goals. Through Chinas policing flowers, Shen documents how the Chinese government, the Communist Party and societal views of sex roles influence policemen and women and reinforce the starkly different positions they hold in their agencies.
Dorothy Moses Schulz, Ph.D., Professor Emerita, John Jay College of Criminal Justice
This book is a penetrating insight into the position of women in the Chinese police revealing the paradox of notional gender equality and womens entrapment within Chinese society, which remains patriarchal, with stereotypes, traditional gender norms and sex role expectations constraining womens full participation in policing. Theoretically, it offers an alternative to Western democratic models of womens progression and ingenuously gathered empirical data that give fascinating accounts of policewomens lived experiences. A book for scholars of police culture, gender studies and students of sinology.

The Routledge Studies in Policing and Society aims to cultivate a global intellectual space of original contributions to either classic or emerging debates about the nature and effects of policing in society. The works in this series are designed to advance our shared understandings of what policing looks like, how it operates and what it implies for the values we hold in different societies around the world. Questions of whether policing is effective, what it means to be effective, and what counts as knowledge and evidence is also welcomed in this series.
We, as editors, embrace contributions from people working within the field of policing research as well as those pursuing novel lines of inquiry from across the social and behavioural sciences and beyond. It is our view that inter-disciplinary scholarship will only enliven debates about what policing is, why it is what it is, and how it can or should be transformed. The editors encourage a wide range of approaches to inquiry that can enrich and expand our common pool of knowledge. We hope that readers can be inspired to re-examine their own understandings based on what they have learned from works in this series.
A quest to understand the roles, positioning and experiences of women in policing has animated policing and society scholarship for a long time. It is unequivocally a global topic, and there is much to be learned about the overt and subterranean processes that work to undermine the perceived value of women as policing agents. In this book,
