Chapter 4 in Policewomen and Equality, 1986, pp 47-80 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The earlier examination of recruitment amply demonstrates the way in which local autonomy and the consequent discretion allowed in recruitment and selection can generate informal organisational practices which circumvent the equal opportunities legislation. The effect of this is, as we have seen, to restrict the number of women joining the service. This chapter is concerned with what happens to those men and women who do become police officers, and examines the experience of doing ‘the job’.
