With regards to behavior, how do female correctional officers encounter the same issues as female police officers? How are they handled?

What will be an ideal response?


• Women correctional officers face the same issue as women police officers: whether the better strategy in this male-dominated area is to adopt a gender-neutral approach (same behavior by women and men) or gendered approach to policing (different behavior by women and by men—each having value).
• The debate among feminists in correctional work is similar to that in police work.
• Gender-neutral guarding of inmates appears to be favored among the majority of women corrections officers because "equal" should mean "the same as" rather than "different but just as good as."
