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.

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.

                                             Curfew Prompt

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.

                                     

Explanation:

 

Teens these days! They stay up late, they want to find a good party, hang out with friends and cause trouble. All these things suggest teens between the ages of 13-18 should have strict curfews. We will look at their need to sleep, their need for rules and their need for supervision to prove why they need curfews.
Firstly, teens need a strict curfew because they need to sleep! It has been proven that teens that stay up later have health problems like diabetes. They have a higher risk of memory problems, high blood pressure and heart disease. Research says that melatonin is a sleep hormone that is active while we sleep. If teens stay up too late they miss out on this hormone. Dealing with a grumpy teen is terrible, ask any parent that has a teen.
Secondly, teens need a curfew because too many of them run the streets with no supervision. Teens need curfews to keep them safe. If a parent establishes a curfew from the beginning, the kid will grow accustomed to it. They are not adults yet so boundaries most be set. Teens think that since there is no crime in their neighborhood that they are safe. But no crime also means crime could happen. Most kidnappings happen because teens are careless. This is why kids need a curfew, because they might not know how to handle strangers. It will keep them safe.
Adults have long reckoned with ways to protect adolescents from their own misjudgments. Only recently, however, have researchers really begun to understand how the teen brain is wired and that some of what appear to be teen's senseless choices may result from biological tendencies that also prime their brains to learn and be flexible. Brain mapping technologies show that the average teenager's brain looks slightly different from an adult's. The biggest

differences lie in the prefrontal cortex – a part of the brain associated with reasoning – and in the networks of brain cells that link the cortex to regions of the brain that are less about reasoning and thinking and more about emotion. These circuits may provide a hormonal jolt that causes some teens to embrace risky behaviors, according to researchers.
Lastly, teens are known for making poor choices. Peer pressure is very strong at that age. There is a need for rules. Having a curfew keeps teens from going to late night parties and driving recklessly. For example smoking marijuana. Susceptible as they are to social feedback, praise and rejection – more so than adults, according to research by Steinberg and others – teens often do what peers want them to do, or what they think peers want them to do, rather than what we might say is rational, Steinberg said.
In conclusion, teens should have a curfew because it stops them from making bad choices, being grumpy because of a lack of sleep also ensuring that they understand boundaries.
