GENDER DIFFERENCES IN POLICE. QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF PUBLIC PERCEPTION

Summary/Abstract: In this paper I want to bring to the fore the perception of the general public on employees, more precisely women and men in the Romanian Police, through a quantitative research, wanting to answer the following research question: "What is the public perception of both women, as well as about the men who work in the Police? We highlighted the general objective: "Analyzing the public's perception of women and men in the Police" and the specific one: "Identifying the factors that influence the perception." In order to identify the data conducive to research, I used the method of sociological survey, having as a tool for sociological research, the questionnaire (the platform I chose to substantiate the research is "Google Forms"), containing nine questions. I distributed the respective questionnaire to a number of approximately 108 people, women and men who work in other professional frameworks besides those related to the Romanian Police. Following the information received, we identified types of answers highlighted by percentages highlighted by topics such as: the activity of the Romanian Police, the useful or not mixed partnership of police officers, the importance of uniform depending on gender, field or office work of women / men in the Police, the effectiveness of women police officers in dangerous situations. Therefore, I noticed how gender stereotypes and, implicitly, gender inequalities, mainly on women, are perceived differently by the people participating in my study, belonging to other professional levels.
