Abstract

In the preceeding chapters we have discussed the implications of the Sex Discrimination Act for the police service as translated into formal organisational policy and the structural and organisational changes which resulted. By examining the recruitment, deployment and careers of policemen and women, we have been able to compare the effects of formal policy with the consequences of a series of informal practices for the role women are able to fulfil within the police service. What is clear from this analysis is that the behaviour ‘prescribed’ by the equal opportunities legislation is not reflected in the attitudes of the majority of policemen and that, in reality, informal practices which more closely follow these attitudes have a major impact on the working lives of policewomen.
