Chapter 7: Concluding Remarks
Marilyn Corsianos is professor of criminology and sociology at Eastern Michigan University. She is the author of Policing and Gendered Justice, which was named a CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title, and the coeditor of Interrogating Social Justice. She has written numerous articles on policing, power and social inequalities.
Too often, gendered study means looking at women. This pathbreaking
work on police corruption incorporates insights from masculinities
studies and cultural criminology to show that corruption is a
gendered activity that is intertwined with hegemonic masculinity.
Marilyn Corsianos adds immeasurably to the study of policing
through her demonstration that police culture and the media shape
police hypermasculinity. Her suggestions that the Community
Policing Model can reduce both patriarchal influence and corruption
are especially provocative.

Corsianos tackles police corruption and misconduct through a number
of lenses, including the one that has been most necessary and
ignored, the role of masculinity.
