Women Police, Employment, and Family

Attention has been paid to occupation and job since the beginning of the social life of human being. Today, the existing difference between traditional and modern concepts of the gender role serves as a factor of friction in the families. According to the traditional concept of mother, the woman should spend her time to bringing up children, training them, cooking, keeping the house and so on. However the modern concepts emphasize on positive privileges and outcomes such as earning money, boosting self-esteem, broader social support and also materialization of the talents and capabilities of women through playing occupational roles while enumerating the negative consequences of women’s employment on the family institution. Presence of women in the organization structure of the police force with the aim of preventing and controlling social injuries particularly of the women and children who account for a great majority of the active population of the country is imperative. Therefore, the negative consequences of women employment in the police force on their family on the one hand, and the need for using enforcement services of the policewomen due to the presence of special clients in the society on the other, lead to a paradox in the achievement of goals which calls for a special attention of the human resource management on removing the negative points of the employment of women in the police force. In the event of a value agreement between the couples concerning the employment of women, the familial balance would be maintained and satisfaction of life would increase something which would also have a positive economic and social impact on the development of the country. Adversely, the imbalance of the family would reduce the quality of life resulting in the reduction of the growth and development rate of the country.
