CARRINGTON, Kerry; RODGER, Jess; SOZZO, Máximo y PUYOL, María Victoria. Re-teorizar el progreso de las mujeres en la policía: Una perspectiva alternativa desde el Sur Global. Delito soc. [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.54, pp.18-21. ISSN 0328-0101. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.14409/dys.2022.54.e0073.
Women’s entry into policing, a traditionally masculine occupation, has been theorised almost entirely through a liberal feminist theoretical lens where equality with men is the end target. From this theoretical viewpoint, women’s police stations in the Global South established specifically to respond to gender violence have been conceptualised as relics from the past. We argue that this approach is based on a global epistemology that privileges the Global North as the normative benchmark from which to define progress. Framed by Southern criminology, we offer an alternative way of theorising the progress of women in policing using women’s police stations that emerged in Latin America in the 1980s, specifically those in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Palabras clave : southern criminology; women in policing; policing gender violence; women’s police stations; masculine police culture.
