“Always A Woman, Never A Colleague”: Police Women In Serbia
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2019, Vol 24, Issue 1
Abstract
Gender issues within the police organisation, personnel structure and police culture have only recently become the subject of detaild academic research. Despite numerous analyses that deal with issues of organizational culture within the institutions of the security sector, there are still relatively few cross-cultural studies that deal with issues of equal opportunity, position, role, perspective, and barriers to the integration of women police officers. This work aims to help in getting better perspective of the current situation, i.e. a gender perspective within the police organization in Serbia, taking into account the current situation and opportunities provided to women working in the police. The paper also interprets official records of the appropriate authorities concerning the status of women within the territorial distribution and line police work. The central topic of this analysis is related to the equal opportunities policy, issues of discrimination, and harassment cases. In a hypothetical basis it starts from the conceptual definition of the term police culture, and objective and subjective obstacles to the integration of a gender perspective within the police system. The results of analysis are presented as illustrative trends, not as definitive findings.
