Adultification and intersectionality
What adultification and intersectionality are and why they're important to Brighton & Hove’s efforts to become an anti-racist city.
About adultification
Adultification bias is a form of racial prejudice. It's where children and young people from diverse or minority communities are treated as older than they are.
An example of this is when a young Black or minority person's true age is questioned by an authority figure. The young person then faces more severe consequences for their misbehaviour, whilst a young White person would have their young age considered.
