Topic: Curfews

Question: Should cities impose a teen curfew law?

Prompt: You will organize an argument against teen curfew laws.

(A curfew is a regulation requiring a person to be home at a certain prescribed time, as imposed by a parent on a child.)

Evidence 1

Negative Effects of Teen Curfew Laws

Do curfews curb teen violence? Let’s look closer. In California, a study found that crimes increased during curfew hours and decreased in the summer months when curfew was not enforced. In Detroit, a study found that teen violence increased in the hours right before curfew. Other methods have been proven to lower juvenile crime such as making recreational centers available and keeping them open for longer hours.

Evidence 2

Negative Effects of Teen Curfew Laws

Children and parents sued the District of Columbia because they were against the curfew law. The court found that the curfew was against the law. The court stated that minors should have freedom of movement. It also stated that curfew interfered with a parent's right to raise children in the way they saw fit.

It is still early in the evening! When it comes to teen curfews, the local council is being arbitrary and unfair.  Teenagers can get into trouble at any time of day and making mistakes and learning from them is an important part of growing up.  Curfews are inconvenient for teenagers because the best memories are made at night, we do not have the same freedom as our parents did as teenagers and setting a curfew for teens does not stop mistress.

         One thing my parents usually tell me about their youth is what they did.  From going out late to partying and having the time of their lives with their buddies, they have it all.  Despite the lack of phones and pagers, they were able to stay out late despite the high crime rates of the 1960s.  Teenagers now have cell phones that allow them to communicate with their parents from anywhere.  If our parents are satisfied with where we are and when we will return, the government should respect their decision and allow parents to be parents.

At night, I make all my fondest memories.  From going out late after a football game to simply driving around and grabbing breakfast at 12:00 a.m., there is something for everyone. Because we are required to adhere to a curfew during the weekdays and weekends, part of being a teenager is going out and having fun.  

       Lastly, setting a curfew for teen does not stop all Violent Behavior.  I feel as if teens are looked at as delinquents and trouble.  Violent Behavior is not just from teens; adults can go to stores and buy firearms with no restrictions.  "a field strewn with the remnants of quick fixes to a serious problem." Davidson, Margaret.  “DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILDREN ARE?” REASON.  This quotes states that the curfew for teen is a temporary fix to a major problem, which is wrong.  Though teens can sometimes be wild and out of control, we are not the main source of mischief in the world.  

    “It's in the nighttime that violence breaks out," said DaQuan, with a glance toward his mother, who smiled in approval.  ” Meyer, Eric.” Clock Ticking Toward Tougher Curfew.”  Even though curfew put restrictions on teens lives, violence is more likely to occur at night than in broad daylight.  Parents fear for their kid’s safety at night because anything can happen when your child is not being supervised properly.  Today, there are high rates in human traffic and abductions, so it is important for parents to know where their kids are always.

    Finally, curfews do not keep teenagers out of trouble and interfere unfairly with their life. Teenagers, like adults, will make mistakes and get into mischief at any time of day.  People say that your adolescent years are the best years of your life, but the restrictions on how much time we can spend at home have an impact on teenagers' lives.  Even while going out late at night is scary and dangerous, there are dangers in the common world that a curfew cannot protect people from.
