Abstract: This study focuses on the cultural context and gender issues of the policewomen of Ankara, Turkey, a modern, secular, Muslim city.

A non-random, open-ended survey was done of various ranks of Turkish women police officers in Ankara about their work and personal conditions. The results confirm that women officers have gender work-related pro… Show more

“…Recent research indicates that in most developed democracies the percentage of sworn women police remains at or below one quarter, with much lower numbers in management ranks, and with women from racial or ethnic minorities suffering greater marginalisation (Cordner and Cordner, 2011;Moses, 2010;Stroshine and Brandl, 2011). Women also remain grossly under-represented in most non-democratic nations or emerging democracies; (Gultekin et al, 2010;Natarajan, 2008). Recent research also points to a levelling out in female recruit numbers in the advanced jurisdictions e around one third in the more optimistic scenarios e and a possible problem with female attrition (Cordner and Cordner, 2011;Prenzler et al, 2010;Ulicki, 2011;Van Ewijk, 2012).…”

“…It is clear from the results of this study that large numbers of women in Tamil Nadu have already rejected the goal of full integration. Studies on women policing in Bahrain, Taiwan, Turkey, Israel and the Philippines (Chu, 2013;Gültekin, Leichtman, & Garrison, 2010;Guzman, & Frank, 2004;Moore, 1999;Strobl & Sung 2009) have reported similar findings. Allocating women officers to duties consistent with their skills and interests may provide a more satisfying work environment for women and even diffuse some of the hostility from male officers who seem to believe that some gender-sensitive allocation of work is a more realistic way in which to integrate women into the police.…”

“…Specific barriers and limitations for female officers have been identified in studies from different countries. Women police officers in Turkey felt they did not have the same progression opportunities as men and battled with too few childcare options combined with too many duties (Gültekin et al, 2010). In the Tamil Nadu police force in India women had more household duties than male officers, which was perceived by women and men as meaning men were able to perform better professionally (Natarajan, 2014).…”
