Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Gender is an important component of representative bureaucracy because the relationship between gender and policy is extremely complex (Meier 1993). Feminist theory provides some reasons for this complexity, emphasizing that the relationship between politics, group identity, and sexual difference is quite complicated. Women are also different from one another in terms of race, class, and other factors. These complexities may be the reason why the research on gender and representation has produced mixed results. Older scholarship found little or no relationship between the sex of bureaucrats and the delivery of services by the bureaucracy (Hindera 1993; Selden 1997). More recent work, however, has discovered a link between the number of women in bureaucracy and the transition from passive to active representation (Meier 2000; Keiser et al. 2001). This paper seeks to understand how gender transforms the relationship between bureaucrats and their clients. We will examine the gender of both the street level bureaucrats, police officers, and county prosecutors. We argue that the gender of these bureaucrats will affect the willingness to file rape complaints, the number of rape arrests, and the percentage of court convictions. Data from ninety large urban counties provide the cases for analysis.
