Abstract

Discriminatory treatment is defined in terms of limited job related opportunities and exposure to sexual harassment. The structural status of women police in England and Wales in terms of rank and role is described by reference to secondary analysis of national data from Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary. This reveals limited access of women officers to higher rank and specialist roles. Differential deployment and sexual harassment are explored by means of a questionnaire survey conducted in several British police forces. Results indicate widespread exposure to harassment and other forms of discriminatory treatment. The persistence of discrimination is demonstrated by reference to recent surveys by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and policemen's resistance to women colleagues is discussed in terms ofoccupational culture. Some elaboration of the sex-role spillover thesis is offered in the light of policewomen's experiences.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
