Abstract
The results of the research presented in this book give cause for concern. They demonstrate the continuing impact of negative patriarchal beliefs and attitudes about women in the New Zealand police organisation and on the responses of some police to rape and sexual assault complainants.
To get abuse listened to is the first thing: to get it understood is the next.
(Elizabeth Robbins, 1907, quoted in Mills, 1991, p. 232)
