女警為何能使社區更安全

Less than 13 percent of police officers in the United States are women, a statistic unchanged for two decades. Many women fail police academy fitness tests at rates as high as 80 percent, often due to rigid standards unrelated to real police work. Research shows that policewomen use less force, face fewer complaints, and defuse conflict more effectively than men. Updating recruitment practices could unlock major community benefits and help solve the ongoing recruitment crisis.
