CONCLUSION
Legal Curfews:
The Minor Debate
Legal Curfews on Juveniles
A curfew is “an order establishing a specific time in the evening
after which certain regulations apply, especially that no
civilians or other specified group of unauthorized person may
be outdoors or that places of public assembly must be closed”

(Dictionary, 2015).
Juvenile Curfew laws are becoming more common and are being
enacted at the state and local level, and they can prohibit people
under the age of 18 from being in public or driving at specific
times
Juvenile curfew laws have become a persuasive and popular
strategy for controlling juvenile crime (Sagepub, 2003).
In many different areas there are concerns for those minors that
are out after the certain hours of night. At night situations are
likely to occur which can put the minors in a dangerous time. It
is said that having the curfews are going to reduce the amount
of crime that is happening at night because it is taking some of
the minors off the street in order to make sure this does not
happen. The juvenile laws are enacted at many different levels
of government from the state level to the local levels of cities
and townships. It is up to the vote of the citizens on whether
these laws are going to be enacted.

Controversies of Juvenile Curfews
Juvenile curfews are considered by some as unconstitutional as
they are considered to violate the fourth amendment of the
United States.
Most Juvenile curfews laws come with “exceptions”, which
helps the law enforcement to identify situations under which the
person deemed as a minor would not have to be subject to the
law.
The laws in place do not allow for the parents to have the right
to provide for a parental exception. In this regard, there is an
issue of unwanted government interference with the right of the
parents when deciding to control their children and their
bringing up (Brank &Scott, 2014).
Citizens are concerned with discrimination due to race, gender
color which could lead to further discrimination and tension.

The fourth amendment “protects the people from unreasonable
government intrusions into their legitimate expectations of
privacy” (Hanley, 2004). The argument is for that the
amendment states that minors have the right to be legally
protected. If the juvenile laws are in place then it forces the
government to interfere were they do not have a legal right.
Minors have the right to privacy and the illegal search and
seizure could be considered as a infringement on this right. In
most times, there is a challenge in distinguishing whether an act
is permissible or even prohibited, and thus most legal experts
claim that juvenile curfew statutes are vague.

Conclusion One
Every citizen of the United States has the same rights according
to the constitution whether they are above the legal age of 18 or
a minor.
In the constitution the fifth amendment and the fourteenth
amendment protect the citizens from the federal government
depriving them of individual rights.
Juvenile curfews infringe upon the individual rights and
liberties, and the children are citizens who have the right to free
movement and the curfews would undermine the rights and
liberties of the young people (Brank, 2014).
Juvenile have the right to be treated as anyone else in the
United States. When looking at the amendments of the
constitution it states clearly that every citizen of the United
States has the right to be protected from having their rights
taken away. According to the fifth amendment it states “The
federal Government not deprive individuals of life, liberty or
the pursuit or property without the due process of the law”

(USLaw, 2015). The fourteenth amendment of the United States
prohibits states from violating an individual rights of due
process and equal protection. Juvenile and their parents have
the right to freely move without the federal or state government
constrict them. Enacting these laws take away from the parental
rights. The parents have the right to set the boundaries for the
children when it comes to the times they have to be in by.

Conclusion Two
Curfews are not a complete and effective solution to the
problem of youth crime.
A study done by the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice
concluded that crimes fell faster in California Cities without
curfews than in California cities with curfews (CTPost, 2012).
This study shows that among 410 citations issued for curfew
violations in Vernon, Conn only seven cases were the youths
involved in any other offense other then violating curfew
(Ctpost, 2012).
Evidence suggest that more racial tensions are raised due to the
amount of minorities that are arrested which leads to a greater
tension amount amongst them and law enforcement.
Apart from the fact that these laws are considered to be
unconstitutional the curfews for the minors is not a effective
solution to the crime that is happening. Many times we see
these curfews being put into place in order to make the people
feel better when in reality they are not doing anything to deter
the amount of crime that is happening. The study that was done
by the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice concluded that
cities without the curfews seen a decrease in the amount of
crime. The importance of role models on these children and the
parents helping them has a better influence then mandating
when they have to be in by. Most of the citations given are for

none related criminal activity. They are being cited for being
out later then the curfew which ties up the police from staying
focused on the real criminals in the cities.
5
Conclusion Three
) Curfews are considered by some to single out a certain group
and many activist believe that the minority groups feel that they
unfairly bear the blunt of curfew enforcement efforts and tend
to view curfews as a instrument of political oppression (Adams,
2003.
Minors are becoming victimized by the police in these curfew
hours and at the end they are viewing the police as enemies
rather then someone that can help them.
Most of the minors that are convicted of violating the curfew
are first time offenders. This means that the laws are singling
out the minors and making them more vulnerable.
Curfews do not create a safer environment from the younger
criminal they increase the number of younger criminals due to
them violating the law (Brank, 2014).
These laws create a sense of fear amongst minors. They may be
heading home from somewhere after a night out with friends
and because they are running late then the police are going to
arrest them for walking down at the wrong time of night. This
would be considered as victimizing the children and making
them feel like they are going to be doing the wrong thing. This
will create a sense of hate towards police which means if they
younger people see a crime they are less likely to report it to
police due to the anger and resentment against them. With many
of the crimes being committed are because of the violation of
the curfews it just increases the amount of criminals in the
system. This takes away from the time the police could be
looking for actual crimes.

The minority groups feel they are already being untreated fairly
by the law enforcement and having these laws set in place will
increase the tension amongst them rather then bring them
together to reduce the amount of crime that is happening. This
leads to larger tensions in law enforcement and the minority
groups.

Conclusion Reasons
The first conclusion states that the juvenile laws are considered
to be unconstitutional. The government (State and Federal)
should base the decisions of these laws of the constitution.
In the second conclusion we show that the Center for Juvenile
and Criminal Justice is used to counter the arguments for
curfews. The research does show that very little is being
achieved in many cities by having the curfews in place.
The third conclusion is based on the views of activists against
the curfew. They show that many of these laws are creating
more resentment and tensions amongst different groups rather
then working together.
In the above three conclusions we see many different types of
evidence on why the juvenile curfew is not working. In the first
conclusions we see that the juvenile curfews are
unconstitutional due to the clauses in the constitution that
which guarantee every citizen, whether a child or and adult has
the freedom of movement and liberties without being violated.
The reason why many of the people are using this is because the
evidence is used to counter those that are in support of these
laws. They show that the freedom of parents to look over and
take care of the children in the way they see fit are being
violated. Having the induvial rights of the constitution are being
abused by enacting these laws. The constitution protects our
rights and these laws are a direct infringement of them. The

government needs to base the decision on the constitution in
order to make sure no laws are being violated. The second
conclusion is the research that is done on these laws. The
opposition is using this research in order to show a better
understating of states that have these laws in place. The reason
why the research is so important in the argument is that it
portrays the impacts on the children and the towns in a positive
or negative way. The research will give a clear picture. The
third conclusion is that based on the views of the activists
against the laws. Curfews are considered by some to single out
a certain group and many activist believe that the minority
groups feel that they unfairly bear the blunt of curfew
enforcement efforts and tend to view curfews as a instrument of
political oppression (Adams, 2003). They use this arguments
because of the racial tensions that these groups have with the
police. The studies done and the amount of media attention
between the law enforcement and the minorities has increased.
They argue that the laws will create even more tensions and
cause them more problems then good.

Analysis of the Opposing Group Issues
The group that are opposed to this are claiming they are
unconstitutional and are using this to argue by clearly stating it
undermines the rights of the youth and the parents.
The second conclusion argued that the curfew is ineffective.
Citing the research that was done by Center on Juvenile and
Criminal justice it states that most people between the age of 12
and 17 are more likely to commit crimes between 2pm and 8pm
when they are least likely to be supervised by parents (Ctpost,
2012).
The third conclusion is on the basis of activists. These laws
create more tensions amongst minorities when it comes to law
enforcement. They feel as if people are going to be singled out
more then normally after the hours of the law. “Disproportional

confinement of minorities has been recognized as a problem by
the federal government”(NAP, 2001).
Analysis: Opposing Groups
The opposing groups of this law argue that they are being
treated unfairly by breaking the laws on the constitution. The
fifth and fourteenth amendment protect the rights of the people
from illegal searches and seizure without the due process of the
law. While it states this many of the people that oppose the laws
state that having the police ask for identification and other
items is illegal. This puts that person in a state of fear and
anxiety when there should not be. The argument of the curfew
being ineffective is due to the fact that many minors are without
supervisions due to parents being at work and other jobs. They
have more freedom to roam and get into trouble. The times the
curfews are enacted are not effective because most minors are
under supervision at the time. Racial tensions has been going on
for years. The opposing groups argues that because of the times
at night the laws are in place it will only generate more tensions
amongst groups instead of helping. This will lead to a bigger
rate of violence and crime. While this is the opposing arguments
there are many that claim it to be false.
8
Supporting Groups Analysis
The first conclusions for those supporting the laws is that the
minors do not have the same rights therefore they are under the
laws that are made. This means that argument of being
unconstitutional is not legit.
The second conclusion is that curfews are ineffective, but the
supporting group argues otherwise. This group argues that
curfews will help keep the minors from negative influence of
street gangs, and breaks congregating of gangs in hours of
darkness.

The supporting group argues that the purpose of curfew laws
may not be to stop youth from committing crimes, but they
protect the youth from being victims of crime (Squires, 2014).
Many people believe that the curfews are there to protect the
minors. By regulation what time they have to be in at night they
feel safer knowing that these minors are off the street and not
getting into illegal activities. The group has good points to
argue because they truly care about the minors and the way they
are being pulled into the illegal activities. Protection is there
number one reason for installing the laws.
