One of the most significant developments in public personnel administration in the past decade has been imposition of the equal employment opportunity mandate.
Abstract
Of special importance to the traditionally male police profession is the requirement that all aspects of public service be open to women. This article discusses the application of equal employment opportunity law to women in policing. It outlines the two major theories of discrimination and then illustrates forms of discrimination against women in law enforcement agencies which have received judicial attention. (Author abstract)
