Abstract
ABSTRACT This article focuses on differences in attitudes of female and male police cadets/officers in Taiwan. Using survey data from 538 Taiwanese police cadets/officers, we examine general attitudes toward immigration and crime. Whereas most research on Taiwanese police officers has historically been conducted on male officers, our sample consists of more than 30% females which enables us to investigate the following research questions: (1) Do cadets have negative attitudes toward immigrants? (2) Are females’ attitudes towards immigrants and immigration significantly different from males’? (3) Are female cadets more positive toward immigrants and immigration? Results indicate that female police cadets/officers are more supportive of immigrants and immigration. Policy implications are discussed for police in Taiwan in particular, and by implication, for police organizations in other nations.
