  • European Law Enforcement Research Bulletin Nr
    Limitations in cross-national comparative research: Problems faced when comparing police personnel statistics LIMITATIONS IN CROSS NATIONAL COMPARATIVE RESEARCH: Problems faced when comparing police personnel statistics Markianos Kokkinos Christiana Vryonidou Scientific Research and Professional Development Center, Cyprus Police Academy 1 Abstract The Mass Media in Cyprus announced that according to the Eurostat (2019) “Police, Court and Prison Personnel Statistics”, Cyprus has the highest ratio of police officers per 100.000 inhab- itants among all EU member states. To examine this outcome, the Cyprus Police conducted cross-national research comparing the organisation’s population and duties with those of other law enforcement agencies in the European Union. This article will elaborate on the lim- itations of cross-national comparative research, which the authors came across during the study, as mentioned above. It will argue that even a subject as straightforward as the number of police officers is not directly comparable between countries in terms of necessity or efficiency, without taking into consideration the particular context of each given country. A quantitative comparison, which does not explore the background and contextual information on law en- forcement agencies in each country, can be questioned with regards to severe methodological issues, while its outcomes run the risk of being regarded as misleading. Keywords: Eurostat, Comparative Research, Limitations, Police Personnel 1 [email protected] 31 European Law Enforcement Research Bulletin Nr. 20 (Autumn 2020) Introduction According to Eurostat (2019), as presented in Graph 1 below, Cyprus has the highest ratio of police officers per 100.000 inhabitants among the EU countries. This fuelled the ire of the mass media in Cyprus, and consequently of the public, which turned once more against the Police.

To continue to fulfil the expectations of the Cypriot economy and society, VET is undergoing essential reforms. The structure of VET is being transformed by the introduc- tion of a new modern apprenticeship, an alternative pathway for young people between 14 and 20, and the establishment of post-secondary institutes for technical and vocational education and training, which will offer students an intermediate level of education. The imple- mentation of the new modern apprenticeship has begun and it will become fully operational by 2015. Secondary technical and vocational education provides a broad range of initial training programmes in Cyprus. Its new curricula, expected to be developed by 2015, will enhance the attractiveness of VET and match specialisa- tions with the current needs of the labour market. VET is an important part of and features prominently in the Cyprus lifelong learning strategy. Its main actions include the enhancement of lifelong guidance and counselling services, and the development of a national qualifications framework (NQF).
