About This Item
Melbourne University Publishing, Carlton, 2011. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Signed by person(s) connected with book. Honest and engaging, this memoir reveals the remarkable rise through police ranks of Australia's first female chief commissioner. A police officer for more than 35 years, Christine Nixon shares the pressures of a life in the public eye and coping with difficult aspects of the job, such as losing a colleague in the line of duty. Documenting a cultural shift in policing as well as in the role of women in Australia, this narrative portrays Nixon's eight year tenure as being characterized by her tough anticorruption stance, her frequently acrimonious relationship with the police association, and her high approval ratings with the Victorian public. Written from a unique point of view, this account explores one woman's personal and professional life. Signed by both the author and co-author on the title page. There is no damage. Size: Trade Paperback. 320 pages. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Law & Criminal Studies; Biography & Autobiography. Signed by person(s) connected with book. ISBN: 0522856853. ISBN/EAN: 9780522856859. Inventory No: 0259138. . 9780522856859
