Would a law enforced curfew be a beneficial strategy to keep teens out of trouble? A city council is debating the adoption of a ten p.m. weekday curfew and a midnight weekend curfew for teenagers. If the curfew is adopted‚ teenagers on the streets after those hours would be breaking the law. A curfew for teenagers would positively affect their lives.

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.

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

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

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.

Of course the law does exist for a clear purpose
