Argument: Should Police curfews be imposed on young people? Although most people will argue that a forced city wide curfew goes against their rights as British Citizens‚ it is a way to keep the children and fellow city-goers safe.

A city council is debating the adoption of a 10 p.m. weekday curfew and midnight curfew for teenagers. If this curfew is adopted‚ teenagers on the streets after those hours would be considered breaking the law. I support this adoption because we would be keeping the city safer and keeping the young adults safe and out of trouble after dark.

problem that the city believes that they have the right to give people’s children a curfew outside of the curfew the parent has created.
