Sexuality in the Swedish Police: From Gay Jokes to Pride Parades

By Jens Rennstam

Sexuality in the Swedish Police is based on the experiences of lesbian, gay, and bisexual police officers and the author’s observations of police work. Written at the intersection of organizational, gender, and police studies, the book analyses how processes of exclusion and inclusion of LGB sexuality coexist in the Swedish police, how these processes are related to the culture and characteristics of police work, and how police management attempts to create an inclusive organization.
