Abstract

THIS ARTICLE CONCENTRATES ON THE QUESTION OF MAKING PROPER ALLOWANCES IN ESTABLISHMENTS FOR 'NONEFFECTIVES', THAT IS, THOSE ABSENT ON LEAVE, SICKNESS, OR TRAINING. THE AUTHOR PRESENTS A FORMULA FOR COMPUTING EFFECTIVE COVERAGE, BASED ON THE RATIO OF NONPROBATIONERS TO PROBATIONERS. DATA ARE PRESENTED FOR THE WARWICKSHIRE CONSTABULARY. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)
