“…Although considerable improvement has been noted regarding the status of women in police organisations (Chu et al, 2020;Nielson et al, 2020) and in the process of police education, many female police officers have had negative experiences related to their promotion and harassment at work (Spasić et al, 2015). Female police officers face numerous challenges and barriers to full integration into the police force daily (Nielson et al, 2020;Shelley et al, 2011) and they are still significantly underrepresented, despite the scientifically proven benefits they bring to the organisation and the fact that they can perform police work just as successfully as men (Kakar, 2002;. While female police officers still face significant disapproval from male colleagues, citizens show greater acceptance of women in the police organisation and greater confidence in their abilities (Leger, 1997).…”

“…The results indicated that police cadets with pre-existing knowledge of domestic violence had resisted the training. Several studies investigated gender differences in the police force, reporting that female cadets have different perceptions regarding the integration of women into police as well as immigration and crime (Kim and Gerber, 2019;Nielson et al, 2020). Studies on cadets' perception of the four dimensions of the police role in society reported perceptional differences concerning demographical characteristics (Cuvelier et al, 2015;Sun et al, 2009Sun et al, , 2010.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore factors correlated with police cadets' perceived commitment to the police profession – whether or not personal attitudes and demographic characteristics can make a difference.Design/methodology/approachThe study used two-year longitudinal data collected from a population of 207 Chinese police cadets. Survey research based on pre-designed instruments was employed to collect the data.FindingsThe results from panel data analysis found that personal interest in adolescence and attitudes toward styles of policing were significant predictors. Specifically, attitudes toward community policing were positively related to the cadets' commitment to the police profession.Originality/valuePolice occupational commitment is essential since the commitment is closely linked to voluntary retention and organizational effectiveness. However, limited empirical research has been available regarding the factors associated with officers' identification and commitment to the occupation. This study provides insight into police officer training and recruitment and offers suggestions for future research.
