Items measured perceptions of performance, male officer response, organizational response, and public response. In general, responses of male officers suggested resistance to women in the force. Males were more negative about female officers' performance and career commitment, would discourage a daughter from becoming an officer, and felt that females received preferential treatment in hiring and promotion. Female officers expressed the most egalitarian attitudes toward women in policing, and older males were less egalitarian than were younger males. Finally, an examination of motivations for entering policing found no significant differences between males and females. Scale items are appended. 1 table and 16 references.
