Product Description

" Kentucky was the last state in the South to introduce racially segregated schools and one of the first to break down racial barriers in higher education. The passage of the infamous Day Law in 1904 forced Berea College to exclude 174 students because of their race. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s black faculty remained unable to attend in-state graduate and professional schools. Like black Americans everywhere who fought overseas during World War II, Kentucky's blacks were increasingly dissatisfied with their second-class educational opportunities. In 1948, they financed litigation to end segregation, and the following year Lyman Johnson sued the University of Kentucky for admission to its doctoral program in history. Civil racism indirectly defined the mission of black higher education through scarce fiscal appropriations from state government. It also promoted a dated 19th-century emphasis on agricultrual and vocational education for African Americans. John Hardin reveals how the history of segregated higher education was shaped by the state's inherent, though sometimes subtle, racism.

Product Description
Women in Public and Private Law Enforcement is hands-down the most comprehensive examination of women in law enforcement to date. Most importantly, it fills the current void that exists for texts on this important and growing area of law enforcement. Both public and private sector law enforcement are covered including policing and private security. For policing this includes not only municipal policing, but also state and federal law enforcement. For the security industry, coverage includes not only private security guards but also various other occupations that may be included under private security such as protection specialists.

Women in Public and Private Law Enforcement is intended for academicians and students of sociology, criminal justice, psychology, business, management and loss prevention as a resource on women in non-traditional occupations, specifically law enforcement. It is also intended for professionals in the field today, to apprize them of contemporary issues for women in law enforcement and serve as a reference to guide policy and procedure development.

Authors Pamela Collins and Kathryn Scarborough not only define distinctions in law enforcement and private security but also provide an understanding of the importance of specificity, with regard to this occupational analysis. The authors' diverse background allows them to offer uniquely complementary approach, emphasizing both the importance of understanding the professions from a practical standpoint, while at the same time giving credence to academic analysis.


The book's primary focus is on gender with limited attention paid to race and ethnicity. Some comparisons are made when appropriate, but the ultimate goal is to provide the reader the most comprehensive analysis with respect to gender. Finally, the authors provide women in law enforcement today with detailed analysis and description of how far they have come, the struggles they have faced, the challenges they have overcome, and the achievements they have made.

* The only complete review of women in law enforcement and security
* An ideal text for students in criminal justice and law enforcement courses
* Reviews the current role of women in local, state, and federal agencies ... Read more

I wish you could have known her...
This book is about a truly remarkable woman.I have never known anyone so devoted to God, family and friends.She loved so many people and so many people loved her.The last year of her life she spent in a nursing home and although she couldn't talk (intelligibly) or move very much she had visitors all day every day.You don't receive that kind of love and devotion unless you have spent your life demonstrating that love to others.I know I am biased because I knew her very well but she has taught me so much about a life well spent. I recommend this book to keep her memory alive.

A great book about a special woman
Let me start this review by saying that I am completely biased. This book is about my grandmother. This book is a wonderful depiction of her life and shows what a strong Christian woman she was. The chapter about the courtship between her and my grandfather is the best in the book. Since he died when my father was very young, I learned things about him through reading this book that I ever knew before. A very quick read, with some great pictures and some of the best poems my grandmother wrote included.

Kentucky Woman Stirs Family Memories
Kentucky Woman, by Mary Ellen Klatte, really touched me.The book shares the life story of a strong, loving woman in a challenging time.It stirred up memories of my Grandmother, a kentucky woman born just 4 years before Viebie and from a nearby place.References to such things as apple butter, custard pie and sun-bonnet girl quilts brought back vivid scenes from my childhood experiences with my Grandmother.Even the slang terms made me smile as I remembered my Grandmother calling me "fleshy" when I put on a few pounds.Viebie's life is a testament to determination, love and making the most of your life.I highly recommend this book.It is a love story but also a keen reminder of another time and place, so different from today.

An Interesting Life of an IndependentWoman
Although I thouhgi that I would only read a few pages, I was captivated by this book and didn't put it down until I finished it.Her picture on the back cover of the book reflects much of the great humor, pride, and positive nature of this fine woman.It was with great interst that I read of her life, and as a historian I am always interested to read and reflect on the lives of people who have made a contribution to their country and their community.So often people are only interested in the biography of the rich and famous, and they tend to forget the dogged hard work, perserverance and love that comes from the so called "common folks."Certainly Viebie was not the common folks, for within her determination and self sacrifice without complaint we see the real family values and real profiles in courage.Our young folks tend to think that all the modern conveniences have always been in the United States.They tend to forget that much of America was small and provincial and that gratification and desires were not instantly met and that great sacrifice was often the life of many before us.The life of Viebie Catron Cantrell is inspirational, in that it tells us of the spirit of a well reflected life, in her hopes and dreams of her community and her family told in letters and sweet poetry. We see here the small trials and tribulations of a young woman undergoing her daily tasks of getting an education, teaching, experiencing the hopes and despairs of everyday life, and seeing through her eyes the hard times of the 1930's, and her special courtship through her letters and reflections.Many of the colloquial expressions are also very interesting.This book is a fast and fun account of a proud woman and her family, and it was a joy to read despite the sad times that were met with this uncomplaining God fearing woman.

Do what you can, with what you have . . .
Kentucky Woman certainly seems to epitomize Roosevelt's famous quote. This book is so historically real that you sweat when reading about the summer days. I couldn't help but appreciate my carefree world compared to Viebie's and many times wondered just how many of my relatives she may have known due to geography and time. I enjoyed reading about a true Kentucky woman and the strength that she possessed. So many people today are so self-absorbed that life's lessons are lost but we could all learn something from Viebie. ... Read more
