UK Police Law Blog 30/4/2020 Feature, Opinion Workforce Diversity in Police Hiring: the Influence of Organizational Characteristics In recent years, many law enforcement agencies have found themselves in legitimacy crises, where police have difficulty winning the support and trust of the communities that they serve. One strategy suggested to improve legitimacy is developing personnel rosters that share demographic characteristics with a jurisdiction’s service population. This study examines how characteristics of police agencies, including existing workforce diversity, predict subsequent success in hiring non-White applicants.

Two questionnaires, one focused on male victims and one on females, were administered at different points in time. This randomised controlled trial used a block design, randomly assigning eligible police officers to treatment and control conditions within each of four groups.
