Anti Curfew Law

Curfews have been the bane of many young people's lives for generations upon generations. Unlike this instance, though, these limitations were usually set by parents or other guardians. I realize that curfews decided on by cities as a whole also stem from the same place that those set by parents are, that is, in the interest of the teen's safety. However, I do not believe that it is the city council's place to interfere in the personal lives of these people. There are many reasons for teens to be out late at night, such as getting home from work or just waiting to be picked up by their guardian, and a set curfew for teens would cause many of them to be unfairly punished for doing things that can hardly be called criminal. Many teens hold part-time jobs, either to

It is hard for law enforcement to enforce curfews and curfew violations are not taken seriously. Juvenile curfews will not stop young people who are intent on committing crime, in part, because the penalties for a curfew violation are not that serious (O 'Neil). There are also limited police officers to help with the enforcement of curfews. Because of the curfews, it takes the police away from more serious crime that are happening in cities across the United States. The enforcement of juvenile curfews is hard to put into effect, and there are limited police officers to enforce these curfews, which are often not even taken seriously.

Curfew is something that most teens deal with at some point in their life. The curfew could be set by their parents, their parole officer, or even their coach if they are traveling with a sports team. These guardians set a curfew to try to keep their teens out of trouble but it will not stop teens from doing something that they shouldn't. They will just do what they want to do earlier in the day. If a 10 pm curfew was enforced, that curfew would interfere with the lives of teens that have jobs that require them to work later than the curfew allows. They would have to work shorter shifts which causes them to make less money. Some teenagers might not work so close to home and that would cause problems in their schedule too. Their shift could end at 9 pm but if they get caught in traffic at 9:30 pm, there is a chance that they will get pulled over after ten and then they have no way to prove that they are coming from

One other reason why curfews keep teens out of trouble is that curfews set by parents are a way of showing that the parents care about the teen. (Boekestein, 2010) suggests that teens actually want to spend time with their parents but do not know how to. A curfew is the brainchild of parents all over the world to make sure that their teen is safe and also to be able to spend quality time with them while they still can. Without the curfew, teens would spend all their time with their friends but miss out on the most important people of all, which are their parents. Although it might not seem that curfews are a way to spend time with the teen, it surely is. According to (Boekestein, 2010), a teen said what all teens were trying to say, which is they don’t care about other things in life, they love their parents and would like to spend more time with them than they normally do. A teen also said that he only talks to his parents in the car or during dinner as their hectic schedule demands the parents to be on their toes all the time.

Curfew is a set time which teenagers will have to schedule their activities around. Generally, this curfew doesn’t change and helps your teen to understand boundaries. It is a wonderful idea for teens to have curfews because it teaches them to be responsible and also considerate of other people around them. As teenagers, it is natural for adolescents to feel like their freedoms are being taken away and that their parents don’t know what is best. However, curfew is put in place for the direct opposite, which is keeping teenagers out of trouble. Curfew teaches teenagers time management, it could lower the crime rate in local areas, and it could give teenagers an overall better relationship with their parents. Because of these reasons, I

Although having a curfew for it to be illegal for teenagers to be on the streets after ten o’clock p.m. on weekdays or after midnight on weekends would be beneficial in exceptional and deficient ways, many citizens will disagree with having a curfew. The eminently important reason Dierks, Arkansas, should have a teenage curfew is for the security of the teenagers. Another reason is for the parent to have control over their child, instead of their child being undisciplined. On the other hand, having a curfew could hinder maturity.

Is very good that the State wants to care for minors, establishing curfew, but I think that there are more ways to care for them. they can be warn parents of the dangers of the night, and give guidance on the upbringing of a minor, but they cannot force them to do things they are not agree with, since in the end the parent is who decides to give permission or not, because is the one in

My opinion is that curfew was set to protect minors but, there are plenty of reason why a minor would be out passed curfew and there should be system where some minors can exempt the law like having parental permission.

A city curfew just will make teenagers want to stay out even longer. If a city decides to make a curfew that says teenagers cannot stay out later than ten on weekdays and twelve on weekends will just make them have to sneak out and be breaking the law while they are at it! So if you are the city council I have one question for you, would you rather let the teenagers stay out as long as their parents let them or make them just break the law?

Many teenagers have a set time they have to be home by their parents. Usually teenagers must be home from dates and nights out with friends by anywhere from 10 o’clock at night to 2 o’clock in the morning. Each parent has extremely different curfews set for their children, based on the individual level of responsibility and trust levels. Some local government decides to set their own curfews, to keep teens off the streets at night and out of trouble. Many people argue whether this actually solves anything, or is even legal to do, since it is taking away a piece of teenager’s freedom. Although there are many good and bad points to enforcing curfews, they should be less enforced because they do not necessarily keep teens out of trouble,

I know that some may feel that a curfew is unfair and unjust to the teenagers of this community but it is very important

There are many reasons why a curfew imposed by parents would not keep teens out of trouble. From personal experiences, teens are expected to go to school from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM every day. Then, they reach their homes by 2:40PM /3:00 PM. Under certain circumstances, such as after

Teenagers live very busy lives because, they are usually involved in a variety of activities. Most teenagers also provide their own transportation for these activities, so a curfew would negatively impact them. Adopting a new curfew for teenagers would interfere with their lives because they may have occupations that require them to work late, be involved in several extracurricular activities, or need to drive at certain hours for emergencies. A majority of teenagers work at some point, whether that is during the summer or during the school year. If they work during the school year, they are most likely working late hours and would need to drive home afterwards. Therefore, the curfew would inhibit their ability to work longer hours as well as, teens who work during the summer

Having a teenage curfew is ineffective and useless. Many people argue that the curfews are necessary because it will keep young people out of trouble. They also say that teenagers are more likely to get in trouble late than they would during daylight. Teens are looked at as the age group that causes the most trouble, and society targets them when it comes to matter for crime, however many people believe that teens are responsible for a large percentage of crimes and that having a curfew in effect will help lower crime rates. I disagree with this because I don't think teenagers should be forced to follow a ridged time schedule because of a curfew.

Even with a curfew teens will do what they want to do. If that means sneaking out, lying or skipping school or etc. sneaking out gives a teen a thrill and like they are invincible. That just makes them more likely to do much more dangerous stuff. Also, having a curfew just adds stress on a teen, because they will freak out about running late and traffic causing them to be late. If anyone says that kids will be too scared to sneak out, well wouldn't they be to break an actual law? Does curfew really keep teens out of trouble?
