POLICEMAN'S DAUGHTER GIVES RECOUNT OF HOW HER FATHER'S OCCUPATION SHAPED HER ATTITUDES, LIMITED HER FREEDOM, AND GENERALLY AFFECTED HER CHILDHOOD.
Abstract
THIS POLICEMAN'S DAUGHTER TELLS HOW SHE WAS UNDER CONSTANT PRESSURE FROM PARENTS, TEACHERS, AND THE COMMUNITY TO DISPLAY IDEAL BEHAVIOR AT ALL TIMES. COMMENTS ARE MADE AS WELL ON OTHER ATTITUDES STEMMING FROM THE FATHER'S OCCUPATION, SUCH AS RESPECT FOR GUNS, AWARENESS OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER INHERENT IN THE JOB, AND ADJUSTMENT TO THE FATHER'S ABSENCE FROM THE FAMILY.
