Using data from systematic social observations of §police-citizen encounters, this work explores gender §differences in police utilization of controlling and §supporting behaviors. By assessing the impact of §intervening situational and organizational factors, §the study underscores the conditions under which §female officers utilize different behaviors from §their male counterparts. Findings suggest that women §are much less likely than men to utilize extreme §controlling behaviors, such as threats, physical §restraint, search, and arrest. Surprisingly, the §findings do not support the hypothesis that women §are more likely than men to use supporting behaviors §or to de-escalate discordant police-citizen §encounters. While unexpected, these findings are §important. Simply assuming female officers manifest §stereotypically feminine traits in policing tasks is §clearly an overgeneralization and a simplistic §conceptualization of the meaning and impact of §gender in policing. The implications for female §officers, policing, and future research are §discussed.
