Employing the SERVQUAL framework, it assesses people’s perceptions of these specialised police units to gain a comprehensive understanding of their impact on the community. Situated in a rapidly urbanising region with gender-related challenges and increasing gender-based crimes, the study employed convenience sampling to gather data from three WPCs, involving 400 participants. Structured questionnaires, adapted from prior research, were used for systematic assessment via Likert-scale responses. Statistical tools, including factor analysis, descriptive statistics and mean scores, were employed for data analysis. The results indicate that WPCs play a crucial role in addressing gender-based crimes and enhancing women’s safety, as perceived positively by the community. However, ongoing efforts are needed to maintain and enhance these services to meet the community’s evolving needs.- Reproduced https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/00195561251336854
