Social groups represented throughout the thriller GENDER STEROTYPE:The stereotype of what a woman should be is being

challenged as the police officer is female and not taking care of kids or doing light domestic work at home, she’s part of the police force and deals with violence, brutality and vulgar language on a daily. Her being part of the police challenges the stereotypes as men are usually seen as the ones who arrest and are part of the dangerous action and in normal police scenes there's men who handle the prisoners however she's the only one meaning that she doesn’t need help or be a man to arrest someone as she has equal strength and has done it herself.

Police woman has no cleavage shown this challenges the stereotype that all women wear seductive clothing, bright makeup and dresses/skirts. She challenges those stereotypes by wearing trousers, buttoned up shirt and no makeup breaking ideals of women wanting to look nice for men.

This character is opposite of being passive she's not what society views women which is why this character would appeal to women who are feminists and agree that women are equal to men. This character also doesn’t mind getting dirty she's using her force to stop the prisoner she's not afraid to break a nail or ruin her hair which challenges the stereotype of women worrying about little things and being materialistic.
