Colvin tracks the evolution of police agencies toward being more "gay friendly" both as employers and as service providers. He also provides insights into the day-to-day barriers and opportunities that lesbian and gay officers experience working within organizations that traditionally have been hostile to them. Integrating quantitative and qualitative research, he offers a compelling demonstration that police agencies can best fulfill their missions when they are representative of the communities they serve.Gay police officersUnited StatesGay police officersGreat BritainLesbian police officersUnited StatesLesbian police officersGreat BritainDiscrimination in law enforcementUnited StatesDiscrimination in law enforcementGreat BritainGay police officersGay police officersLesbian police officersLesbian police officersDiscrimination in law enforcementDiscrimination in law enforcement363.2086/64Colvin Roddrick A.1471370MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786289203321Gay and lesbian cops3683648UNINA
