People perceptions regarding different professions are casual to see, but I found women interface in a men's percept profession as an interesting topic to research on. This was not enough a piece of interest for me, I further expanded it by being particular for an ethnic group (Muslim). I observed that Muslim people see policing as a male profession and they might dislike female entrance in this profession. In Muslim faith, women should be veiled at home and must not try to be like a man, as their identities are different. In reality, policing is a male oriented profession and women finds great number of problems in getting success to it.

The questionnaires gives a platform to have a systematic analysis, and in depth spotlight with the instructions.
I used many external sources and books for understanding the Muslim concepts regarding females and their professions. I found an interesting book “for The Next Attack: The Globalization of Jihad” in which I saw the extremism of Muslim concept of Jihad and army that has a key motive to defend their religion and faith (Benjamin, 2005). Moreover, the book of Bosworth shows the different traditions of civilizations in which Muslims reflects the key concept of holding their tradition and traits through centuries (Bosworth, 2003). However, other book material demonstrates the understanding and history of policing in United States, and how women took part in this profession.
