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.

Most curfews laws are set between the hours of midnight and 5am. You would think that these hours have been selected for a logical reason but they have not.

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. 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

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. This argument is just beginning to gain traction as teenagers want to stay out later to spend time with their friends “Netflixing and Chilling”.

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.
