Chapter 3 in Policewomen and Equality, 1986, pp 24-46 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Until integration, the separate organisational arrangements which governed the employment of women police officers meant that in effect a quota system was operated such that women constituted only a small proportion (approximately 5 per cent) of the overall police workforce. The major consequence of the Sex Discrimination Act was that policewomen’s departments were integrated into the main stream of policing thus removing the existing restriction on their numbers.
