This paper provides a comparative empirical examination of integration in twenty major city police agencies over a 14-year period.
Abstract
The data indicate that in these twenty agencies, obvious and measurable progress toward affirmative action goals has been realized. Nonetheless, nonwhites as a group are still underrepresented by about 50 percent, blacks are underrepresented about 67 percent, and females are underrepresented by about 85 percent.
