"For the protection of the working rights of women, the cancelation of the quotas for male and female admissions in the examination of prison officers and prison administrators in Taiwan has become an issue under the trend of gender equality. In order to understand the feasibility of this policy, this study collects data through literature discussion, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions, and analyzes the manpower utilization and the content of the guard duty of correction agencies in Taiwan.
There are six major research findings as followed: 1. The lack of manpower in correctional agencies causes excessive burden of duties. A reasonable ratio of treatment should reduce to between 1:6 and 1:8. 2. The joint service of duty groups can be used to increase the willingness to guard the opposite sex. 3. The main reasons of unwillingness for guarding of the opposite sex between male and female guards are different. 4. Currently, more than 90% of close guard duties should still be guarded by the same sex. 5. Because the full adoption of heterosexual guarding may result in a great impact, it is advisable to provide supporting measures when implementing. 6. The impact of heterosexual guarding on prison administrators is more obvious than prison officers. Based on the research results, this study puts forward seven research recommendations: 1. To strengthen the gender awareness and to promote a friendly workplace culture. 2. To improve the current equipment to increase the safety of guards on duty. 3. To supplement the budgeted number of staff members for guards. 4. To plan a reasonable system for working hours and off-days. 5. To revise relevant laws and regulations. 6. To introduce scientific and technological equipment to assist the needs of guarding. 7. To pilot trials on guarding of opposite sex." |
