Book Reviews : Susan Ehrlich Martin and Nancy C. Jurik, Doing Justice, Doing Gender: Women in Law and Criminal Justice Occupations. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications, 1996, 270pp., £13.99 paperback. Despite progress, the resistance to women in justice agencies has been zealous, and they have not been completely integrated into the station house, court- room, or prison. What appears to be an open door to occupations dominated by men is actually a revolving door: More women enter than in the past, but many of them quickly exit ... Those who remain encounter obstacles that limit their advancement opportunities and confine them to gender stereotyped tasks. (Martin and Jurik, 1996: 2)
