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. That means that we’re essentially wasting money on police enforcement to make sure that teenagers are not committing crimes when studies show that if anything the crime rate has went up since more curfews were put into place. “A study by researchers at the Center on Juvenile and Criminal

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.

Many towns in New Jersey have declared a new curfew law for teens under 18. Some towns have the curfew for being in your house or someone else’s house by 11 PM unless traveling to and from a job. Many teens think this is unfair and unconstitutional. My personal opinion on this topic is that it will definitely decrease the rate of vandalism on personal property‚ stores‚ etc. First of all‚ with this curfew teens will be in their homes or someone else’s homes by 11 PM which I’m sure

If there is one thing everyone wants to 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

dark? Teen curfews are limiting teens to when they can be out and when teens have to go in. Teen curfews are a bad idea. The first reason for teen curfews being a bad idea is because it forces teens to have a deeper connection with their parents. “The fact is this: teens don’t want to hang with their parents on a weekend night”(Teen curfews at malls are unfair). Some teens have bad relationships with their parents‚ others are more individual people. The second reason of teen curfews being a bad

Curfews are a subject that is widely discussed on if they should or should not be enforced most of the people lean to enforce curfews in an effort to cut crimes that are happening late at night. Most parents would agree that teen curfew is effective in reducing the risk of teens getting into trouble. But I believe that teens shouldn’t have a curfew. I say this because not all teens are out in weird hours of the night getting into trouble so why punish all teens for others mistakes.

today’s society. It’s one of the most troubling issues the government deals with. Setting curfews is the most commonly used method by government to regulate juvenile crime. I disagree with this. I believe that curfews are just a lazy way of dealing with the problem and that government should invest money into to programs that help with juvenile crime instead of setting restrictions on teens. Setting curfews on teens is meaningless and a waste of money. Teens are looked at as the age group that causes

is considering making a curfew that would make it illegal for teens to be on the streets after 10:00 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on weekends. I highly disagree with the curfew for many reasons. For one‚ Some people have to work. Some people are forced to travel at night because of work and sometimes their children. I strongly feel that the curfew will cause problems for people who are working‚ traveling‚ and socializing.. One reason that I do not like the idea of a curfew is because some people
