Almost 70 per cent of those who failed the tests were female officers, which is likely to prompt criticism that the exercises are unfairly biased against women.critics have warned that such tests could be discriminatory against female candidates

I'm a believer in that there should be just one standard and that is it, there shouldn't be two benchmarks that separated according to gender.
This particularly annoyed me when I trained recruits especially when it came to the 1.5 mile run the pass mark for males was 10min 30secs or less but for females it was 12min 30secs or less
Obviously there were slight variations on these times according to age than as well so it you were older you got more time.

Treating men and women the same is sexist
Saw this yesterday.
Policewomen in their hundreds fail fitness tests - Telegraph
In short, PCs are taking fitness test, including shuttle runs, and there are proposals to include strength tests and obstacle courses to simulate their work.
Women PCs are currently twice as likely to fail.
The call is now that the tests are sexist. It doesn't state why, but I presume its because they think there is a likelihood that women have physical differences from men.
Surely, if the job is physically demanding then all candidates in a test should have to meet the same standards?
If being arrested, will people run away more slowly, or struggle less, if the cop is a woman?Tags: None
