Women’s equal representation in the higher judiciary: a case for judicial diversity in India International Journal of Comparative and Applied Criminal Justice (IF 1.1) Pub Date : 2023-01-21 Gita Mittal, Dipika Jain

ABSTRACT Feminist scholars have debated the issue of integration and specialising of women in policing.
