Perceived Gender Discrimination in the Jamaica Constabulary Force: A Quantitative Inquiry

Tue, 27 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Introduction: Women often shy away from or are reluctant to perform tasks in socially challenging communities, such as conducting patrol and spot-check operations, regimental physical exercises, and routine crowd control. On the other hand, some women are eager to perform these tasks, while others prefer and are adept at community-based policing practices.

Objective: This research examines perceived gender discrimination in the Jamaica Constabulary Force. The chosen approach for this study is a cross-sectional correlational survey research design.

Findings: The findings revealed that more than 56% of the respondents indicated that gender discrimination was occurring in the JCF. Approximately 60% of respondents stated that career opportunities were influenced by gender, with male law enforcement officers believing that gender discrimination is higher than that of female officers. The hypothesis implies that a significant majority, more than 56% of male respondents between the ages 18-23 years, believed that there is the presence of gender discrimination in the Jamaica Constabulary Force. Conclusion: This study has revealed a concerning prevalence of perceived gender discrimination in the Jamaica Constabulary Force, particularly among males aged 18 to 23 and those aged 36+. However, this issue is manageable. We can significantly reduce this perception by implementing policy changes that address deployment, duty detailing, course participation, and promotion. These changes, if implemented, can improve the working environment for all personnel and enhance the overall effectiveness of the JCF, offering hope for a more equitable future.
