I believe that curfews keep some teenagers out of trouble. Statistics show that kids who have a curfew are less likely to get in trouble with law enforcement and their parents. Most cities have a curfew in their town, this can benefit the town but most parents believe having their own curfew set for their child is more beneficial. This leaves the child with a responsibility to get home before the curfew or they will be punished by their parents. While curfews can keep kids out of trouble many people believe that they don't fully prevent crimes from being committed at late hours.
Other statistics state only 15% of crimes committed by younger students happen after 10 pm. But even if the government were to set a curfew they wouldn't be able to keep every kid out of trouble. I think setting a curfew from your parents would be way more effective than it being over a whole town or state.
Some kids will also see the curfew as a challenge and want to stay out late just to break the law. Which would start even more trouble. Most crimes committed are from kids that go driving around all night and never go home. Most kids that do this lie to their parents about where they are going so their parents don’t know they're staying out all night. Even now kids stay out later than their curfew and still never get caught.
Do you think curfews should be later?
Do you think they should just not have curfews?

Yes, having a curfew at like 10 would be kind of ridiculous, especially for older, more mature kids. I think some people need cerfecurfews the kids who are responsible and smart with what they do should not.
I agree
I think that having a curfew is good, it would keep kids out of trouble. However kids are still gonna do what the want no matter their curfew. This would help a lot to having fewer crimes but I don't think it will make all crimes go away.
I agreem i just think the time should go back
I think that it doesn't really matter what time curfews are because most teenagers don't even acknowledge curfew times. Even if it was moved to a later time, teens would still be out when they aren't supposed to be. I think that curfews should still be in place, but they should be talked about more so that students know the importance of them.
I agree a lot of them dont follow the rules
I think that curfews should be later because the kid is safe but I understand how the parents could get worried. I think that there still should be a curfew just later because some kids could take advantage of it and never come home which could cause problems.
I agree
I think that kids should have curfews, and it would keep some kids out of trouble. I think that if parents want their kids home earlier or out later that is up to the parents, but I don't think that the government should set a law and tell kids when to be home. I think that is up to the parents.
I agree i think they should listen to their parents with the cerfews
