From Library Journal
Set in New York and told from the perspectives of four policewomen, Lady Cop is based on interviews and observations of women for the most part working on patrol. The majority of the situations described are common to police of both sexes. Incorporated into the narrative of their daily lives and routines is a sense of why these women chose this challenging career and the difficulties that they encounter because of their sex. Lady Cop is both entertaining and educational. Recommended for large collections. Sandra K. Lindheimer, Middlesex Law Lib., Cambridge, Mass.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Charles, Bill - Dust Jacket Photograph (illustrator). First Printing. 271 Pages. February 1987 Edition. Glossary. Cops have it tough; Lady Cops have it tougher. The women who join police forces have to teach themselves the skills and reactions most men tke for granted. This book shows you what motivates real-life Cagney abd Lacey's, that is, women police officers. You'll learn how their Academy training prepares them - or fails to prepare them - to keep the peace on the meanest streets in America. You'll understand how they handle the pressures, the danger, and the violence of undercover work; what it is like to be a detective; and what sacrifices they must make to wear the badge they must earn every day. The author opens the door of a typical urban police precinct to reveal the private lives and professional struggles of the courageous, committed, women who have sworn to give their all, and even their lives, in the line of duty. This is the true sotry of the special women who wear the blue luniform with pride, and the authentic, uncensored chronicle of every policewoman's struggle to acquire strength, determination, and skills in the face of danger. Tracing the policewoman's relaitonships with ambivalent, and often angry, male peers; explring her conflicts with the criminals who see all cops, regardles of gender, as enemies; and revealing the emotional costs of a job lthat doesn't stop at the end of a tour; this book brings vividly to life the ramifications and rewards of a life-and-death career, and the street-smart, sensitive women who've earned the name Lady Coop.
