Survey on Iranian Police Professional and Social Prestige and its Contributing Factors

The present research aims at identifying the professional and social prestige of police in Iran and factors impacting it. Identifying the precise social prestige of police and factors contributing to it requires conducting some researches. Therefore, the research methodology has tested the aforesaid issue through analyzing secondary data. The findings of the research indicate that the professional and social prestige of the Iranian police is mediocre; however, has tendency toward upward. The police prestige, to some extent, depends on the respondentsʹ gender and education. In other words, ladies compared with men on one hand; and educated people compared with other members of the society consider more value for professional and social prestige of the police. However, the factor which has the highest effectiveness over Iranian policeʹs prestige is its effective police-related characteristics. That is to say, police potency and its dispensation during carrying out its tasks and its manner of performance leads to promoting its prestige. Therefore, the police are strongly recommended to enhance its potency and dispensation while performing its tasks to promote the policeʹs prestige.
