Police sexism

V svoji diplomski nalogi raziskujem temo seksizma v policijski uniformi. Tema je obsežna a vseeno je o omenjeni tematiki zelo malo spisanega. Gre za delikatno, nevidno temo, o kateri se ne piše veliko, a se o njej, v policijskih vrstah, neprestano govori. V diplomskem delu so bila preučena številna domača in tuja znanstvena dela. Velik del zaključnega dela zaobjemajo izsledki in ugotovitve iz člankov in letnih poročil. Prav tako dobršen del predstavljajo študije, narejene na omenjeno temo. Seksizem je aktualna tema, o kateri se zadnje čase postavljajo številna vprašanja: v kolikšni meri, zakaj in v katerem sektorju gospodarstva se ta najpogosteje pojavlja. Gre namreč za diskriminacijo žensk na delovnih mestihžrtve omenjenega pojava so obstajale že vrsto let, a se je pojav na delovnih mestih zanikal. Z razvojem družbe in politike, ki ji vlada, so se v zadnjih desetletjih odpirala in porajala številna vprašanja na omenjeno temo, saj so ženske izražale nejevoljo nad diskriminatornim in seksističnim vedenjem sodelavcev zoper njih. Teoretiki in raziskovalci so nato ugotovili, da je seksistično dojemanje ženskega spola na delovnih mestih, predvsem v tradicionalno moških institucijah, vse prej kot neobičajno in začeli raziskovati tovrstno področje. Ne evropski in nacionalni ravni so vrsto let sprejemali različne zakonske in podzakonske akte, konvencije in priporočila, ki bi preprečili diskriminatorno vedenje zoper ženski spol. Kljub vsem sprejetim ukrepom proti diskriminaciji in seksizmu pa je to tema, ki nenehno buri duhove, in znotraj katere se nenehno razvijejo nove oblike omenjenega pojava. Težava je namreč v tem, da človeški um vedno najde šibkejšega, ki ga zavrača, in mu želi povzročiti škodo.The topic of this B.A. thesis is sexism among police officers. The B.A. thesis refers to various Slovenian and foreign articles, online sources, annual reports and results and recommendations from studies based on sexism. Even though the topic is an extensive one, few reliable sources were written about it. The reason lies in the fact that the issue of sexism is a very sensitive topic and although police officers do not want to comment on it is seamlessly integrated into the police work environment. Sexism is a highly topical subject of these past years due to the questions being asked about the extent of the sexism, the reason for it and the economic sector with the highest number of cases related to this issue. When talking about sexism we refer to the discrimination against women in places of work where the issue was present for quite a few years but its existence was denied by people responsible. In the last few years with the society and politics being open to sensitive questions women were finally able to communicate their disapproval of their colleagues’ discriminatory and sexist behaviour. Scientists and researchers have discovered that sexist behaviour and attitude towards women is nothing new in sectors traditionally occupied by men. The issue was finally being addressed and in order to prevent such behaviour laws, legislative acts, statutory instruments and regulations were enacted on the national and European level. Nevertheless, the preventative measures that have been implemented are not sufficient since gender discrimination and sexism is still present in today’s society. Not only that but new forms of discrimination and sexism are constantly evolving as a consequence of human nature and its inclination to exclude or even hurt a weaker person
