Certain populations may be more likely to have criminal history due to unjustified disparate treatment in the criminal justice system or due to criminal conduct induced through force, fraud, or coercion, such as unlawful acts that traffickers compelled their victims to commit, and this can result in unjustifiably disproportionate denial of claims for those populations, according to the proposal.
The AP found last year that in 19 out of the 23 states willing to provide racial data, Black victims were disproportionately denied compensation.
