Gender Diversity in Discretionary Decisions During Citizen-Police Encounters

Police officers can exercise discretionary control within the scope of daily executive decisions. They can do this without their judgment. It is understood that this is one of the few autonomy rights given to executives. After all, the decision to arrest or issue a ticket should be made based on the overall situation and not related to gender. However, in reality, female officials bring different viewpoints and experiences to crackdown, and in some cases it will bring different criteria from male officers.

Most citizens think that they will exercise discretion only when the police are more likely to be arrested. But that is not the case. All levels of staff and specialized departments are free to make decisions on various behaviors (Walker & Katz, 2005). Since they are the main law enforcement officers who deal with crime on a daily basis, from the patrol, they are the most prudent patrol officer; the police chief is responsible for the detective unit. For example, all law enforcement officials will make discretionary decisions at a point in time, decide to visit the region more powerfully, bet to gain more knowledge of ongoing criminal investigations, I even adopt oriented security. Whether it is by way of a method book or by your own judgment, it is the decision by these individual discretion that directly affects the police choice by various factors.

One of the most prominent problems confronted by today's police is to use racial as a basis for free travel and police decision making during outdoor stay, often referred to as race profiling (Engel, Calnon , & Bernard, 2002). This is especially true for ethnic minorities and ethnic minority communities (Weitzer & Tuch, 2002), which police have long considered controversial. Regardless of the important literature on race, police and rule of law rule (see 1994, Chambliss 1994), attention has been focused on the recognition of race profiling (Harris, 1999; Russell, 2001; Weitzer & Tuch , 2002). Then, a methodological study on the difficulty of measurement when specifying race profiling (Ramirez, McDevitt, & Farrell, 2000; Walker, 2001)

The history of maintaining law and order is closely related to the history of national conquest. Even today's police and leadership status is more diverse than it was decades ago, police and citizens have not escaped the racist violence left by government agencies. Police not only stop people at different speeds based on race, age, sex, but also behave differently in other similar interactions. There is not enough evidence to support a strategy to deter crime in New York. As mayor of Bill de Brasio said, "97% of drop-in and strikes in New York City have decreased, the crime rate has declined dramatically, not everyone knows this." . At the end of 2013 NYPD reduced the use of suspension and made changes or changes in official training - sometimes policies were decided to be unconstitutional - police stopped using all the power. Nonetheless, the racial differences of those receiving power are not shrinking.
