Examines the impact that the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 has had
on the current role of women in the police force. By comparing
recruitment, deployment and career experiences of men and women
who joined them both before and after the Act Jones examines the
gap between the formal policy and the reality. The study shows
that the functions and opportunities of women police officers
have changed more slowly. The implications go far beyond the
police force because of the visible and symbolic role of the
police and, because of the authority they carry, the position of
women in the force is important for the whole of the women's
movement.
