What are the disadvantages of having a curfew for teenagers?

In: Parenting and Children [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

Many kids need to stay out late for school activities. If the cops are actually paying attention we wouldn't need curfews. Also if you let the government control what time you are outside that's basically giving up your rights. When will the government stop?

Besides most juvenile crimes occur between 8p.m.-10p.m. or within 2 hours after school (before curfew time starts).

If you give the cops the right to prosecute kids for being late. Don't you think cops would take advatage of it? They might become power hungry.

Many kids need to go to homework clubs and sports, cops might use that to make their day less boring
