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,

curfew laws restrict the hours that juveniles may be on the streets or in public places at night (Sutphen and Ford). Some people consider curfews infringing on people’s constitutional rights. Curfews are hard to implement by law enforcement, and, in fact, take law enforcement away from more serious crimes. More crimes occur during daytime hours and more children are victimized in their homes than on the streets. Although curfews are made to protect our juveniles and to deter crime by juveniles, does imposing these curfews violate the juvenile’s civil rights and target the true underlying problems involved in enforcing
Do curfews keep teenagers out of trouble? This topic has always been on the cover page of today's newspaper headlines and a hot topic that has been discussed by every family. What are curfews like?

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?
We have all heard the saying, “nothing good happens after midnight”. Many of the largest cities in the United States have enacted laws on curfews for young adults under the age of 18 years old. These laws are positioned to respond, in a positive manner, to the problems that arise when minors are out at all times of the night. These problems can cause an unsafe environment for not only the youth, but for the general public out late at night. Although curfews are not enacted in all major cities, this law is initiated to protect minors because it aids in reducing crime; assisting parents in setting boundaries for their children; and protecting non-delinquents from being the victim of a crime.
The topic of whether the city should adopt a curfew of 10 p.m. has been debated for years. Many people believe that the curfew would keep teens out of danger.

Although, people think that a curfew of 10 p.m. would be unfair to teenagers, adopting a curfew would help let parents know where their teenager is, it would teach discipline and it would keep teens out of trouble. One important reason is, that it would help let parents know where their teenager is. This is because it would be against the law for them to be out past 10 p.m. For instance, if one was going to a friends house to stay the night then he or she's parents would know that they are at their
Should city council's be able to give teenagers curfews? If a teenager’s parent allows them to be home later than ten on weekdays or twelve on weekends then so be it. The city council should not be the one to “parent” a teenager!
Kids will be kids. Everyone has heard this popular saying at least once in their life. Even if a curfew was implemented, only the good kids would follow it. The rebellious teens would break curfew and evade police detection. A curfew would not be good because minors could not build up trust, it would take up police officer's resources and time, and teens could not hang out with their friends after seven pm.
