Some professions are classified as masculine, which means that the very practicing of the profession is proof of masculinity. Such is the case with the profession of police officer, whose job it is to crack down. Now that women have full access to police activities, it is no longer a question of encouraging women to enter the profession. Women’s integration undergoes rather the in-depth examination of selection criteria for skills required by the profession so that these latter may line up with what we expect from the police nowadays.
