摘要

虽然在全球北方,关于进入警察行业的动机的话题已经激增,但在加勒比地区,关于新兵进入警察行业动机的研究却很有限。因此,目前的工作旨在分析进入警察职业的动机,方法是通过标准化、自我管理的问卷收集在牙买加国家警察学院接受培训的新警察的数据。从161名(n=161)警察新兵中收集数据,并使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)进行分析。这些分析是根据性别、年龄、婚姻状况和教育程度进行的,目的是确定进入牙买加警察部队的新警察的动机。调查结果表明,在牙买加从事警务工作的主要动机是:(1)希望帮助他人,(2)有机会继续接受教育,(3)有机会执法。这项研究提供了深入了解牙买加进入警察行业的动机背后的动机,是未来研究加勒比地区进入警察行业的动机的起点。

Motivations to enter the Police Profession in the Caribbean: Evidence from a Cohort of Jamaican Police Recruits
While the topic of motivation to enter policing has proliferated in the Global North, there are limited studies examining recruit’s motivations to enter policing in the Caribbean. As a result, the current effort was designed to analyze the motivations for entering the police profession by gathering data from police recruits in training at the National Police College in Jamaica via standardized, self-administered questionnaires. Data were gathered from one hundred and sixty-one (n=161) police recruits and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The analyses were based on gender, age, marital status and educational level and sought to determine the motivations of police recruits who entered the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF). The findings indicated that the major motivations for entry into policing in Jamaica were: (1) the desire to assist others, (2) the opportunity to further education, and (3) the opportunity to enforce laws. This study provides insights into the motivations behind motivations for entry into policing in Jamaica and is a starting point for future research on motivations to enter the police profession in the Caribbean.
