Explain the role and extent of diversity in police departments during the reform era.
What will be an ideal response?
Answer may vary. During the reform era, attempts were made to diversify the police force to make it more representational of society as a whole. While the number of female and minority officers increased within most police departments during the reform era, the numbers were still disproportionate, especially in many larger cities. In addition, women were still largely tasked with performing duties that restricted them to dealing with female or juvenile offenders, and thus not treated as equals to their male colleagues.
