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?

Generally, it is believed that many illegal and inappropriate activities happen at midnight.

Hence

, in some ,places the governments have imposed a curfew not allowing teenagers to stay outdoors at

night

beyond a certain time unless accompanied by an adult. In my opinion,

this

is the right decision made by these authorities and, why I think it is right will be explained in

this

essay. In many places, the

night

is considered to be a time

that is

unsafe for people to roam around. In Russia,

for example

, many crimes by the local gangsters happen at

night

.

Therefore

, it is thought to be unsafe to travel at

night

in

this

place as there are chances of being attacked or robbed. These groups mostly target youngsters as they are easier to threaten and can be quickly controlled.

Thus

, the Russian government has posed stringent laws to safeguard the wellbeing of youngsters by forbidding them from going outdoors at

night

. Another reason why governments have taken

this

measure is due to the increase in the number of rape victims in

this

age group. A recent survey showed that 30% of teenagers are drugged to sleep during parties by their friends during which they are raped. Enforcing

such

laws, where children are permitted to leave homes at

night

only if assisted by an adult, enables parents to have control over their kid’s activities.

This

in turn inhibits children from falling prey to peer pressure and adapting wrong habits from a very young age. In conclusion, in order to limit the number of crimes happening at

night

, the ruling authorities have imposed laws constraining teenagers from wandering alone at

night

.

This

results in protecting the future of our children and building a crimeless world.
