Abstract
‘You are a beautiful woman … Why would you want to become a cop?’ ‘Because I like to slam people's heads up against walls.’ (Kathryn Bigelow, Blue Steel, 1989) ‘Women are seething with repressed anger and rage, feelings that could well burst to the surface in a blaze of gunfire.’ (Sonny Jones, editor of Women & Guns, 1991a: 15)Keywords
