Abstract
The current study sought to examine experiences of gender- and sexual-based harassment and discrimination within the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), and what changes, if any, RCMP think are needed to address these issues within the organization. A representative sample of serving RCMP (n = 870; 72.6% men; 83.6% White) answered an open-ended survey question examining participants’ perspectives of how the RCMP can work to eliminate harassment and discrimination in RCMP workplaces. Responses were analyzed inductively, using an open-coding approach. Thematic analysis was used to identify themes and frequency analysis was performed to assess for recurrent concrete recommendations. Three themes were identified: Walking the Talk: Broad Accountability; Out with the Old, in with the New: Largescale Cultural Change; and Alternative Perspective: An Exaggerated or Non-Existent Problem. The most common concrete recommendations were to enforce actual consequences (n = 172), to have more effective leadership (n = 138), and to change the promotion process (n = 116). The current results indicate that many RCMP conceptualize gender- and sexual-based harassment and discrimination within the RCMP as a two-tiered problem, involving the actions of individual perpetrators and insufficient organizational responses to those actions. Results further evidence individual and structural hegemonically masculine elements within the RCMP organizational culture. Participant suggestions provide possible actionable solutions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
