do‚ it’s to keep our kids safe. There are times when safety can be taken too far. The curfew does nothing but unfairly interfere with the lives of teenagers. The main reason some want the curfew to be accepted is because of the paranoia of some parents. More time at night gives teens more time to socialize. Plus‚ they can also text their parents to tell them everything is fine. There are a lot of teens who don’t spend much time with others. This may be due to school‚ jobs‚ or after school

Teenage Curfews are Ineffective Teenage curfews are ineffective because the same way the death penalty doesn’t completely prevent crime curfews won’t prevent a teen from sneaking out and committing a crime either.

A curfew is needed for people who stay out late and cause mischief. Towns without a curfew have higher crime rates than those who refuse or do not have a set curfew. Three things that I believe can be hindered by adding a curfew are vandalism‚ kidnappings‚ and drunk driving. These types of deviant actions are mostly done late at night and a curfew would immensely help the rates of these three crimes go way down.

A curfew is a set time when a specific group can not be outside after. Almost every state has them‚ but they should be removed. The setting of a 10pm weekday and 12am weekend curfew would cause more problems than it would fix. The idea of a curfew is that it would keep crimes of the street after this time. However‚ it would not do this and rater it would cause more problems. A curfew would not make a difference in crime‚ it would also get innocent people in trouble and it would become a haste for

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. To begin with‚ this curfew will keep them out of trouble after the adopted times. Not saying that we could stop all of them from going out after this curfew and catch them‚ but we could enforce

Citywide Curfew Yes the citywide curfew should be changed for various reasons. I think that there shouldn’t be a curfew on weekends. There would be less crime and there would be fewer teens in juvenile. Logically there shouldn’t be a curfew on weekends because if there wasn’t the police wouldn’t be so worried about teenagers under 17. The curfew van wouldn’t be picking people up at all. The parents should be able to raise their children or child how they please‚ and of they allow their child to

Within the United States there exists a law which protects teens nationwide known as the state curfew act. The state curfew act is a law that was put in place to stop teens from going out late at night and getting in trouble. The law makes it illegal for teens to be out past a set time. This law is highly debated upon by many teens and some adults as to whether it is needed or is just an unnecessary law that infringes upon the teenagers right to freedom. Of course the law does exist for a clear purpose
