In this article, I will investigate and explain the cultural group of the field I want. We will provide detailed information through interviews with experts in fields of interest. Gender inequality is still a major problem of law enforcement agencies. Women account for a small percentage of law enforcement agencies. According to the Uniform Criminal Report of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in the United States, only 13% of women work in law enforcement agencies and only 5% are African Americans (Criminal Justice School Information, 2014).

In the field of law enforcement law enforcement agencies women have to face many stereotypes. In order to make more women participate in crackdowns, law enforcement agencies should endeavor to overcome the idea that enforcement is "male occupation". In this article we will introduce the history of female police officers, the views and stereotypes of female police officers, issues at work, and the satisfaction of life and work other than labor. The true concept of justice in law enforcement is a concept that includes the ethical, fair, and just handling of all individuals. Justice is a concept that can change various translations and concepts on a case-by-case basis. Justice is related to law enforcement agencies and is an example of how many aspects of justice and how they are subjective. Conceptually, justice is synonymous with law enforcement agency.

Including women in law enforcement positions can be regarded as a major social change. A century ago, law enforcement agencies had little work to open to women. A few women are acting as Correctors and their duties are usually limited to peripheral operations. Women traditionally work at youth facilities, dealing with crimes, including female criminals, or handling paperwork. At these early stages, women are considered less compliant than men. Recently, many options were opened, and a new career was born.

In the 20th century, the number of law enforcement women increased significantly, especially after the middle of the century. According to the National Women Police Center, the number of law enforcement women has doubled in the 1950s. The role of female police officers shifted from social workers to active law enforcement agencies. In 1968, two female police officers from Indianapolis became the first women who carried out patrol tasks. Chapter 7 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was expanded in 1972 to prohibit the police department from discriminating against women. Female attorneys also succeeded and by the year 1992 half of all law school students were female. As more and more women become lawyers more women are eligible to become judges. According to the National Women's Law Center, about 30% of the active US district or the trial court's court is a woman.
