Crossing the Threshold- Female Officers and Police-Perpetrated Domestic Violence
This book examines
how male police officers' institutional power filters down into their intimate
relationships, and why the institution of policing has historically ignored or
denied police-perpetrated violence against women. A brief look at the
profession's historical treatment of women and minorities provides the
background for this analysis of police-perpetrated domestic violence. Though the
book focuses on female officers' experience of abuse at the hands of male
officers and the institutional response to that abuse, the book is insightful
and relevant reading for civilian victims, advocates, attorneys, police
supervisors, administrators, chiefs and sheriffs. The author, Diane Wetendorf,
is a nationally recognized advocate, consultant and trainer on violence in
law enforcement families. (ISBN
