| dc.description.abstract | The role of women in traditional crime prevention and control has been overshadowed by the accounts of men and the events that shaped history, women have been involved in the social systems of the home, work, and community control. This study examines female police officers and policing in Keffi Area Command of Nasarawa State, Nigeria. A social survey design was adopted. A sample of 235 respondents was drawn, using stratified sampling techniques in the selection of respondents from the study area. Primary and secondary data were utilized in the study. The primary data were generated through the use of questionnaires. The questionnaires were analyzed quantitatively using tables, frequency, and percentages. The results show that women are still left behind since the inception of the Nigerian police no woman has reached the highest position and there is still disparity in recruitment in the Nigerian police based on sex. Therefore, the study recommends that the Police authority should, therefore, make conscious efforts not to allow gender discrimination concepts creep into their policies such as recruitment process, promotion, and appointment to higher offices or positions. Adoption of positive, equal opportunity and fairness in the engaging workforce which tends to increase employee performance, subsequently increases organizational performance should be pursed. | en_US |
