abstract: 'Research has found a meaningful income gap between males and females
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
across several occupational settings, and this is also true within law
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
enforcement. As more female workers enter the criminal justice system,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
it is important to revisit and update these patterns of gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality to account for the changing gender dynamics within this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
occupation. Using Current Population Survey data, we document the gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
differences in pay among police over the past 28 years. Police officers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
experience income advantage compared with the general working
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
population, but they also show a stable gender gap in pay. While this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
stable inequality is better than other public-sector jobs-which have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
experienced a growth in the gender pay gap-it represents a continued
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disadvantage for police women, despite the growing number of women
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working in law enforcement and the rules governing public-sector
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment. We further decompose the gendered pattern in police pay by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
whether these individuals work for federal, state, or local agencies,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and find that those working for state government show stark declines in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the gender gap in pay while those working for local or federal agencies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
experience little to no change in this gender income inequality over
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
time. We conclude with a discussion of the policy implications of our
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
findings and directions for future research on gender inequality within
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
law enforcement occupations.'
