Could be interesting. Jon Henley for The Guardian:
The Metropolitan police have announced a new strategy for next week’s Climate Camp – putting women officers in charge of the operation. Will this avoid the violence seen at the G20 protests?
Perhaps the most noted American researcher into gender differences in policing, Joseph Balkin, observed that “policemen tend to see police work as involving control through authority, while policewomen see it as public service”. In some respects at least, he concluded, “women are better suited for police work than men.”
Maybe this strategy should be transposed to international politics?
