In some areas of the US, a ‘curfew’ is imposed, in which teenagers are not allowed to be out of doors after a particular time at night unless they are accompanied by an adult. What is your opinion about this?

Night

curfew

is imposed on the US adolescents, whom it is obligatory to be indoors, except accompanied by a mature or grown up. In my view,

this

is the safest way to protect them from juvenile

crime

as well as from paedophile and miscreant traps.

To begin

with,

this

curfew

initiates child safety and prevents them falling for juvenile

crime

, particularly which are done under the cover of darkness.

For example

, the drug dealers target their new customers during the

night

. If youngsters are lonely, they are more likely to fall for it without realising the severe consequences of their actions. They may start using it out of curiosity and sooner or later may become addicted. If teenagers are accompanied by an adult, they will not drink and drive,

also

criminals are less likely to approach them.

Therefore

, keeping adolescents confined to their homes throughout the

night

is beneficial.

On the other hand

, despite imposing

night

curfew

on teenagers is beneficial in many ways, some people think it is humiliating and violation of human rights.

For instance

, the US social workers opposed

such

curfews and claimed that children should not to be forbidden by law, because it is like a criminal treatment.

Such

people voiced their opinion to increase patrols in areas, where paedophile and miscreant are more likely to trap juveniles, and

instead

of locking teens indoor and snatching away their freedom, make streets

crime

free. In my view, while cities are made

crime

free, it is better to impose a

night

curfew

on children to keep them safe and sound. In conclusion,

although

some find it harmful, it is the safest approach to prevent teenagers from

crime

which is purposely done in the dark hours. Children are vulnerable and less likely to understand the difference between a good and bad company,

hence

it is best be accompanied by their parents or guardian.
