Women in law enforcement agencies have typically been outnumbered by men. The first female police officer in Germany was recruited in 1903, the first in the USA appeared in 1910 and the first in England just a few years later. Since that time many law enforcement agencies have sought to reduce discrimination and increase the numbers of women working in this sector. ==Overview - Germany== Henriette Arendt was a German Police Officer in 1903.〔(History ), European Network of Policewomen, in German, retrieved 22 January 2015〕 ==Overview - Sweden == In 1908, the first three women: Agda Hallin, Maria Andersson and Erica Ström, was employed in the Swedish Police Authority in Stockholm upon the request of the National League of Swedish Women, who referred to the example of Germany.〔(Läkartidningen nr 47 2008 volym 105 )〕 Their trial period was deemed successful and from 1910 onward, women police officers were employed in other Swedish cities. However, they did not have the same rights as their male colleagues: their title were ''Polissyster'' (Police Sister), and their tasks concerned women and children, such as taking care of children brought under custody, perform body searches on women, and other similar tasks which were considered unsuitable for male police officers.〔(Läkartidningen nr 47 2008 volym 105 )〕 In 1930, the ''Polissyster'' were given extended rights and were allowed to be present at houses searches in women's homes, conduct interrogations of female criminals related to sexual crimes, and patrol reconnaissance work.〔(Läkartidningen nr 47 2008 volym 105 )〕 In 1944, the first formal police course for women opened; in 1954, the title "police sister" were dropped and police officer allowed for both men and women, and from 1957, women received equal police education to that of their male colleagues.〔(Läkartidningen nr 47 2008 volym 105 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Women in law enforcement」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
