The influence of the "occupational culture" of police work on police behavior has been well established. However, past studies have dealt with male officers only, inasmuch as the entry of women into this profession in large numbers is a relatively recent occurrence. Given the difference between the socialization of males and females, there has been speculation that women police officers may not become a part of police occupational culture to the same degree as their male counterparts. This article suggests that this may indeed be the case.
