Along with this 50.9% would not recommend police Scotland as an employer detailing the potential perception of senior officers towards these types of complaints indicating a need for institutionalised change. This attitude can show the 1% of officers from a minority group further reinforcing senior attitudes towards diversity. All of these issues stem from a majority attitude of discrimination shown majority through micro aggressions and casual jokes with cases of severe assault. All of these factors preventing a positive environment for work and justice. Along with a lack of care or consideration for these complaints from senior staff.

Another issue is that the women lived in fear due to the sexual comments or actions being made against them which would just be played off as a ‘joke’ or ‘banter’ but in reality would lead the women to not living up to their full potential as they would have to always be cautious within the workplace.
Another issue is that individuals from different ethnic backgrounds feel as if they don’t belong. They feel as if they are only there in order to ‘tick a box’ and not for their skills or talents.

This data shows the stages or development in trends of recruitment as times go on to help create a more diverse police force as well as to act as a guide to help promote change in the services to encourage a new workforce, which in turn will boost equality and diversity in the services, building closer and more trust worth relationships to those of whom are seen as a minority in the community or society, especially within the police service.

Key statistic 2 - Recent workforce profile statistic show that only 32% (5709) of police officers are female, and that only 1% (253) of police officers are from black minority backgrounds.

A positive action within the public services recruitment or in general circumstances, these ‘positive actions can include challenging inequality and discrimination such as racism and gender. This helps the minority groups in a community in recruitment as they have been given an equal opportunity as any other individual in society and cannot be discriminated against recruitment due to being in a particular minority group, again mostly being race, ethnicity and sex.

This is further backed up by these peoples own stories about where they have experianced sexism or racism. They feel that older women are overlooked in the police force and are undervalued.

It helps us understand the community more and be more useful. However if people feel like a minority, they may trust the police less and they do not feel like they fit in.
