Domestically and globally females continue to be underrepresented in policing, despite their greater likelihood of advancing themselves through higher education, driving organizational change, and being less likely to use excessive force or be named in civil litigation than their male counterparts. Extant research indicates that women may be effectively gated from policing by a subculture that aggrandizes characteristics consistent with the crime-fighting paradigm. Using qualitative data from in-depth interviews with female officers, this study investigates the female officer experience of police subculture in terms of masculinity, gender disparities, and sexualized activities. To understand the perceived environment of the department and contextualize it within the literature, the dominance of masculine personality traits and gender disparities within the department are first explored to determine whether a hypermasculine subculture was present. Then, female officers’ definitions of sexual harassment, their roles in these activities, and their motivations for participation were examined.

玩游戏：超男性警务环境中女性体验的质性探索

尽管在国内和全球范围内，女性在警务方面的代表性仍然不足，尽管她们更有可能通过高等教育来提高自己，推动组织变革，并且与男性相比，她们使用过度武力或被提起民事诉讼的可能性较小。现有的研究表明，亚文化强化了与打击犯罪范式相一致的特征，可能有效地阻止了女性参与警务工作。本研究使用对女警员进行深入访谈的定性数据，从男性气质，性别差异和性活动方面调查了女警亚文化的女警官经历。为了了解部门的感知环境并在文献中对其进行情境化，首先探讨男性在人格特质和性别差异方面的优势，以确定是否存在超男性亚文化。然后，研究了女警官对性骚扰的定义，其在这些活动中的作用以及参与的动机。
