Abstract

This research examines the relationship between law enforcement agencies' organizational structures and practices and the representation of women in supervisory roles. Using data from the 2016 Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics and the 2011–15 American Community Survey, the study applies fractional response and binary logistic regression models to analyze female supervisory representation. Findings suggest that organizational structures and practices have a limited impact on women's promotion to supervisory positions, with managerial decisions playing a more significant role.
