Abstract
This groundbreaking study by the
Georgetown Law Center on Poverty and
Inequality provides—for the first time—
data showing that adults view Black girls as
less innocent and more adult-like than their white
peers, especially in the age range of 5–14.
The report builds on similar results that have
emerged from studies of adult perceptions of Black
boys
