‘There Oughtta Be a Law Against Bitches’: Masculinity Lessons in Police Academy Training
通过参与观察警察学院的训练，揭示隐性课程如何向学员灌输霸权男性气质，教导女性不适合警务工作，从而解释了警察队伍中女性比例低的部分原因。
This article draws on participant observation in a law enforcement academy to demonstrate how a hidden curriculum encourages aspects of hegemonic masculinity among recruits. Academy training teaches female and male recruits that masculinity is an essential requirement for the practice of policing and that women do not belong. By watching and learning from instructors and each other, male students developed a form of masculinity that (1) excluded women students and exaggerated differences between them and men; and (2) denigrated women in general. Thus, the masculinity that is characteristic of police forces and is partly responsible for women’s low representation on them is not produced exclusively on the job, but is taught in police academies as a subtext of professional socialization.
