Abstract
Description
This report seeks to highlight the racial harms created by the Registry. After a brief background, it presents data on how Black Pennsylvanians are disproportionately placed on the Registry. It also explores how the Registry functions as a wide-reaching employment bar that results in trapping Black families in poverty. Finally, it looks more closely at how Black Pennsylvanians have a difficult time navigating the unjust process surrounding placement on the Registry. Ultimately, it concludes that the Registry is hurting the very children it is meant to protect, and that Black children are suffering the greatest share of that harm.
