The working conditions impact heavily on the satisfaction of the police officers. The condition of the police officer in India are not so good rather are pathetic. A review of findings on the relationship between socio-demographic characteristics and citizen satisfaction with police might contribute us to understand general trend in these studies. More consistent support was found regarding gender difference depending on being victim of crime. In their study on crime victims, Tewksbury and West (2001, p.281) reported a “strong relationship between victims’ gender and satisfaction-women being more positive than men”. Most research suggested that people who have a great sense of safety and who rate their neighborhoods favorably hold a higher opinion of police controlling for individual characteristics such as race and age (Hwang, Mc Garrell& Benson, 2006). Everybody, whose working, would agree that good working environment, works as a major morale booster, but with the conditions that our police men are working in, will they ever be motivated towards their work? It is evident from the responses recorded that more than FIFTY percent of police officers have confessed the pressure of job on them. Other Fifty percent may be bold enough to deny the job pressure but all are in the same pool, it's only the experiencing of the stress is situational.
