Imagine your local city council is considering a city-wide curfew in response to a recent increase in crimes committed by teens. The proposed curfew would prohibit unsupervised children under 17 from being out after 9:00 p.m. on weekdays, and after 10:00 p.m. on weekends.　 Some believe the curfews is a good prevention tool, keeping at-risk kids from becoming victims or criminals. Opponents argue confining innocent youth to their homes does not make young people more responsible.
