Celebrating a century: The Baird Report and 100 years of women in policing

Laverick, Wendy; Joyce, Peter

Abstract

This year marks the centenary of the Baird Committee Report, which
recommended that women should be employed as sworn police officers across England and Wales. In the first of two articles, Dr Wendy Laverick and Professor Peter Joyce present a historical account of the involvement of women in policing, the barriers and obstacles they faced, and the current and future situation regarding equality of opportunity.
