Description

Abstract: Women make up a little over half of the U.S. population; however, women are severely underrepresented in police agencies in the United States. Although the numbers of female officers have increased over time, police agencies are still not representative with regard to gender. Representative police agencies are vital in ensuring that citizens are treated equally, respected by officers, and have confidence in the police. The academic literature on motivations to pursue a career in policing suggest that men and women have similar reasons for seeking employment in policing, but prior research has failed to assess other important factors, such as perceptions of police officers when examining why women pursue career in policing. As such, the current project will utilize a sample of college criminal justice majors to examine the complex relationship between gender, perceptions of police, and the likelihood to pursue a career in policing. The current study relies on secondary data collected from a sample of college students enrolled in two U.S. universities (n = 524). The analyses suggest that mean-level differences exist for males and females with regard to perceptions of the police and likelihood of pursuing a career in policing. Perceptions of police were found to significantly predict the likelihood of becoming a police officer, even when controlling for gender, race, and age. However, gender does not significantly moderate the association between perceptions of police and likelihood of becoming a police officer. Despite limitations of generalizability and lack of temporal ordering, the findings offer valuable insight for police departments to encourage female applicants.
