In my opinion‚ I think that the teens should be tried and convicted as adult. In most juvenile systems throughout the country‚ the juvenile courts lose the power to young person at age 21. For example if a 17-year-old teenager murder and is convicted of that murder‚ he can only be sentenced to prison or to a juvenile facility until the age of 21. Then he has to be let go. So he would only serve four years for murder whether he killed one‚ two‚ three or five people. Most people feel that a three‚

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.

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. 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.

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.
