Established in 1915, IAWP is a premier intellectual global powerhouse that develops and promotes evidence-based policies, programs and field practices via sponsoring grants and graduate fellowships for women in policing and law enforcement and by encouraging professional-academic partnerships.
The IAWP represents all ranks and grades within policing and law enforcement providing knowledge, skills, and experience from police frontline practitioners across the globe. This allows us to bring a unique perspective to academic research, and other high-level reports enabling us to inform strategy and policy development at the global level.
The IAWP Research Paper Series features the latest research and field experiences from women in policing in several areas of research including women in leadership roles, gender mainstreaming within police, need for bringing women to the central stage of policing, gender-responsive policing, recruitment, training and retention of women in police, prevention, detection and investigation of physical crime, cybercrime and cyber-victimization of women and girls, and family, mental and physical health issues of women police officers.
