"POLICE are to carry out market research to find out why so few black and Asian people want to join the service.
Senior officers have admitted that they are failing to recruit enough people from minority ethnic communities in Scotland, and pledged action yesterday to make the police service more representative.
But they have ruled out positive discrimination to redress the balance, despite pressure from senior non-white officers and campaign groups."
